Olympians. In ancient times, as today, to be an Olympic athlete was a supreme honour. Ancient Olympic champions were looked after by their fellow townsfolk for the rest of their lives, although they also enjoyed the redoubtable honour of fighting in the front line. Today, nearly 100,000 athletes who have competed in the Olympic Games, better known as Olympians, spread the values of Olympism around the world. 1, record 1, English, - Olympic%20athlete

Olympiens. Dans l’Antiquité, comme de nos jours, devenir un athlète olympique est un honneur suprême. Le champion olympique de l’Antiquité était entretenu par sa cité jusqu’à la fin de ses jours, mais il avait aussi le redoutable honneur de partir pour la guerre en première ligne. Aujourd’hui, près de 100 000 Olympiens, athlètes compétiteurs aux Jeux Olympiques, diffusent les idéaux olympiques au tour du monde. 2, record 1, French, - athl%C3%A8te%20olympique

Le Comité International Olympique (CIO) demande de respecter le nom des Jeux Olympiques tel qu’établi dans la Charte olympique, soit d’utiliser la majuscule «O».
