"Eris" - the goddess of discord; daughter of Zeus and Hera; Eris is involved in every quarrel, feud and disagreement. Her eternal and unforgiving rage was the cause of fear and respect on Olympus, though despised by the Olympians they dared not confront her; Though she rode into battle with her brother and companion, Aries, she was more generally known for the less deadly forms of conflict; political strife, personal contention, rivalry and wrangling. She is often confused with the Roman goddess, Discordia.

Olympischen Spiele der Antike hatten den Frauen noch bei Androhung der Todesstrafe sogar das Zuschauen verboten. Bei den Spielen der Neuzeit fand die Diskriminierung der Frauen "nur" noch auf der Wettkampfbahn statt. Bis zu diesen Sommerspielen von 1928, der IX. Olympiade zu Amsterdam. Erstmals gelang es dort den Damen, in "Olympias Sportart Nummer 1" einzubrechen: die Leichtathletik.

Im Jahre 1896 in Athen neu begründet, sind die Olympischen Spiele der Neuzeit zu einem ebenso erfolgreichen wie ambivalenten Großereignis geworden. Ihre kultische und propagandistische Idealisierung des Körpers hat im 20.Jahrhundert eine wachsende Anhängerschaft an Zuschauern und Freizeitsportlern gewonnen. Ihr Erfolg ist in engem Zusammenhang mehrerer großer Tendenzen zustande gekommen: der wachsenden Freizeit, der zunehmenden Wichtigkeit des Körperlichen in modernen Gesellschaften, die sich in der Verbreitung des Sports ausdrückt, der ungeheuren Bedeutung der Bildmedien, der Entstehung eines neuen Unterhaltungssektors und nicht zuletzt des Wunsches, am Leben von Vorbildern teilzuhaben.

La rénovation des jeux Olympiques, qui s’accomplit à la fin du XIXe siècle, repose sur l'idée humaniste que le sport peut contribuer à l'union de tous les peuples. Inspiré par les jeux de la Grèce antique, Pierre Fredy, baron de Coubertin, inscrit dans la charte olympique la notion d'accessibilité du sport à chacun et sa valeur pédagogique. Il a cependant longtemps subsisté quelques nuances entre l'esprit d'un olympisme ouvert à tous et la lettre du règlement.
