(I) FT N DAMENTAL PRINCIPLES (ART. 1-8)

1. The Olympic Games are held every four years and assemble ama­ teurs of all nations in fair and equal competition under conditions which are to be as perfect as possible. No discrimination is allowed against any country or person on grounds of colour, religion or politics.

2. The Olympic Games celebrate an Olympiad or period of four suc­ cessive years. The first Olympiad of modern times was celebrated in Athens in 1896, and subsequent Olympiads and Games are numbered consecutively from that year, even though it has been or may be impossible to hold the Games in any Olympiad. 3. The direction of the Olympic movement and the regulation of the Olympic Summer and the Winter Games throughout the world is vested in the International Olympic Committee whose constitution and powers are defined in these Rules. The honour of holding the Olympic Games is entrusted to a city and not to a country. The choice of a city for the celebration of an Olympiad lies solely with the International Olympic Committee. Applications to hold the Games are made by the Mayor or other chief authority of the city concerned and must be accompanied by adequate guarantees that the Games will be organised to the satisfaction and the requirements of the International Olympic Committee.

4. The Olympic Games necessarily include in their programme the following events: Athletics, Gymnastics, Combative Sports, Aquatic Sports, Equestrian Sports, Modern Pentathlon and Art Competitions. These events are further defined in art. 42 of these Rules. 5. Aseparate cycle of Winter Games is held, comprising competitions in .

7. Only persons who are amateurs within the definition laid down in these Rules may compete in the Olympic Games. 8. All profits and funds derived from the holding of the Olympic Games (after payment of all proper expenses in connection with their organisation and of any contribution to the funds of the International Olympic Committee) are paid to the National Olympic Committee of the country holding the Games and are necessarily applied for the promotion of the Olympic movement or the development of amateur sport.

(IV) GENERAL RULES APPLICABLE TO THE CELEBRATION OF THE OLYMPIC GAMES (ART. 38 — 61) Definition of an Amateur. 38. An amateur is one who participates and always has participated in sport solely for pleasure and for the physical, mental or social bene­ fits he derives therefrom, and to whom participation in sport is nothing more than recreation without material gain of any kind direct or indirect and in accordance with the rules of the International Federation concerned.

Necessary Conditions for Representing a Country. 39. Only nationals of a country are eligible to represent that country in the Olympic Games. Where a competitor is a naturalised subject proof must be furnished that the competitor has always been able to comply with the definition of an amateur according to the rules prevailing in the particular sport in which the competitor wishes to take part. It is not permissible for a competitor having once repre­ sented a country in the Olympic Games to represent another country

Competitors who are citizens or subjects of a Dominion, or of a Colony belonging to a country, who were bom in the Dominion or the Colony, shall be eligible to represent the Mother Country, if the Dominion or the Colony has no National Olympic Committee. Nationals of these Dominions, Colonies and the Mother Country are eligible to compete for each other's country, provided that they have lived at least five years in the Dominion, Colony or Mother Country for which they wish to compete, and provided that it is legally impossible to become a naturalised citizen of that country.

In the event of there being no national governing body for a parti­ cular sport in a country which has a recognised National Olympic Committee, this Committee may enter individuals in that sport in the Olympic Games subject to the approval of the International Olympic Committee and the International Federation governing that sport. The entry shall contain the following statement, which must be signed by the competitor: /, the undersigned, declare on my honour that I am an amateur and fulfil the conditions stipulated by the Olympic Rules.
