    De Coubertin, the father of the modern Olympics, is a figure who probably deserves his own post. A French aristocrat who became an academic and educator, he was obsessed with the English concept—or at least his idea of the concept—that idrott builds character. He admired the way sport culture in the English public schools could create “moral and social strength,” and credited it with…well, just about everything, including England’s vast international influence. France’s humiliation in the Franco-Prussian war influenced his work, in that he thought a more robust, athletic country would be better able to win such wars. He also worshipped ancient Greece, and thought their own athletic culture had been revived in the English model. He was never able to establish such a curriculum in French school, which at one time was the central uppdrag of his life, but considering his passions, it’s no surprise that he managed to revive the Olympic games.
