PIERRE DE COUBERTIN ET LE SPORT EXTRAITS DU PROCÈS-VERBAL Le président: J.-S. E D S T R Œ M. SPRING BOARD DIVING K. P. Thakkar (India), 371,25 points. Le chancelier: O TTO M A Y E R . Tous les problèmes paraissant avoir quelque rapport avec le sport intéressaient Coubertin; il notait ses réflexions et ses expériences en des articles pleins de verve et de bon sens, qui font deviner dans leur auteur un véritable sportif, en même temps qu’un humaniste. Ses conclusions nettes et précises ne laissent aucun doute sur l’utilisation nouvelle que l’on doit faire du sport: « Je crois, écrit-il, qu’en général, le sport donne à ses adeptes, toutes choses égales d’ailleurs, quelque clarté de plus dans le jugement, quelque ténacité de plus dans l’action. » Il fait ressortir l’influence des qualités humaines: « Volonté qui féconde le sport et le transforme en un merveilleux instrument de virilisation », intelligence et psychologie, qui nous donnent le sens de la mesure, du rythme, du style et nous font éviter la tendance naturelle du sport à l’excès.
