📍 Seen in Centennial Olympic Park, Atlanta, Georgia, United States
💬 Baron Pierre de Coubertin was responsible for hosting the ancient games in 1896. “The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as in life, the most important thing is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought.” This powerful phrase is inscribed on a plaque behind the statue. The monument was built in reference to the 1996 Summer Olympics held in Atlanta.
