Olympic movement
International sports organization
The Olympic movement is the collective effort to promote international athletic competition and the ideals associated with the Olympic Games—fair play, global unity, and amateur sportsmanship.
It encompasses the International Olympic Committee, national committees, athletes, and the cultural apparatus surrounding the Games: The Olympic movement faced challenges during the Cold War boycotts.
The term often appears in discussions of Olympic governance, reform, or philosophy rather than the competitions themselves.
