In the brilliance of Stockholm's
magnificent summer light, the
Games of the XXVIIIth Olympiad
will achieve a radiant glory, illuminating
the vibrant hope of humanity embodied in
the Olympic ideals of friendship, solidarity
and peace. The polar luminescence of
Sweden's summer and the cool,
clean comfort of its breezy,
temperate air will create an
inviting atmosphere for the Olympic
Family. In the city comprised of 14 islands
on the great waterway between Lake Mälaren
and the Baltic Sea, the three foundations of
Olympism - sport, culture and nature -
will blend into a seamless tapestry of
human excellence. And the world
will Feel the Light of Olympism
in new ways and realize that
this great global campaign
for peace through sports
holds in its traditions
the promise of
a better life,
a better future.
