TheAthletes'OlympicOath奥运会运动员宣誓

“In the name of the competitors, I promise that we shall take part in these Olympic Games, respecting and abiding by the rules which govern them, in the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the glory of sport and the honor of our teams.”

The oath was written by Baron de Coubertin, and became a part of the Modern Olympic Games in 1920.

The oath for the 2000 games in Sydney, Australia was read by Rechelle Hawkes, captain of the Australian women's field hockey team on behalf of the nearly 11,000 athletes entered in the games. For the first time, the oath included a pledge against the use of drugs at the games.

“我谨代表全体运动员宣誓，参加奥林匹克运动会，恪遵大会一切规则，以真正的运动精神，发挥运动光辉，争取团队荣誉。”

这一誓言由德·顾拜旦男爵所创作，并成为了1920年现代奥运会的一部分。

2000年澳大利亚悉尼奥运会的运动员誓词由澳大利亚女子曲棍球队队长雷歇尔·霍克斯代表参加该奥运会的近一万一千名运动员宣誓。在该誓词中有史以来首次加入了在奥运会坚决不使用兴奋剂的承诺。
