Sport and Art: A Dialogue for Culture
Sport holds an essential place within culture, comparable to the arts such as theatre and visual arts. There should be an ongoing dialogue between art and sport, where each aspires to the virtues of the other. This notion was so compelling that in the early 20th century, a proposal for an arts competition was made to coincide with the Stockholm Games of 1912.
