I was born on january 1, 1863, in Paris, France. As an educator, I helped create the first modern Olympic Games. They were held in Anthense, Greece, in 1896. I later served as the president of the International Olympic Committee. I believed the most important thing was not winning but taking part. Who am I??

Pierre de Coubertin was born 1st January, 1863, in Paris. He was a founding member of the International Olympic Committee. As a result of his classical and strong education, he idolised the Olympic Games of the Ancient Greeks, and revitalised them for audiences today.
