My Baron Pierre De Coubertin Report.
Baron Pierre de Coubertin was born on 1st January 1863 in Paris, France. He was responsible for reviving the Olympic games.
He was born into a very rich and aristocratic family. He was the fourth child in his family. His father was an artist and his paintings were displayed in Paris salons. His relationship with his parents was some what strained.
In 1894 he went to Law School and pulled out one year later. He went onto study in another department and went onto study Science and Politics. He had an interest in Sports and Education Systems. In 1883 he went to observe the Education system in England. In the 1880`s he encouraged sporting competitions in schools in Paris. He formed a committee designed to be responsible for Physical Education in Paris.
He was the first president for the International Olympic committee. Before he became a president he presented in conference`s sharing his beliefs, visions and plans in bringing back the Olympic Games.
In 1895 he had married Marie Rothan and they had several happy and successful years. But years later their relationship also became strained after what happened.
Baron`s son became retarded after his parents left him in the sun too long when he was a little child. Baron`s daughter suffered emotional disturbances, never married, and never found peace in her life. Baron`s wife and him kept blaming each other for what happened to their birth children. Baron died while walking in a park in Geneva on 2 September 1937.
Baron is a good person and if it weren`t for him we wouldn`t have the Olympic games! He will be best remembered for bringing countries and nations together to play sport.
A very informative report. Thanks.
