EPILOGUE

I would now like to close our presentation with a quote from the Olympic Charter. A fundamental principle that fully encompasses the spirit of our bid:

"Olympism is a philosophy of life, exalting and combining in a balanced whole the qualities of body, will and mind. Blending sport with culture and education, Olympism seeks to create a way of life based on the joy found in effort, the educational value of good example and respect for universal fundamental ethical principles."

We hope that we have shown you, why we are eager to host the Olympic Family and convey a message of universal fair play.

We hope we have shown you why we are able to host the Games with efficiency, technical excellence and environmental awareness.

We hope we have shown you why Athens can combine in a unique way, Sports, Culture, Education and Peace with the greatest sports festival, the Olympic Games.
