If the Games were being held in a nation where neither of these languages is the first language, they'd also be announcing in that too as a third.
Because French and English are the official languages of the International Olympic Committee, which is based in a French-speaking city, Lausanne in Switzerland.
Can I say that what you guys are saying about Pierre De Coubertain is bullshit!!! It is infact Dr. William Penny Brookes who founded the Modern Olympics, Dr. William Penny Brookes lived in Much Wenlock, Shropshire, United Kingdom. There were mordern olympics happeneing on my school grounds way before the Mordern Olympics had ever started!!! Coubertain was only inspired by Dr. Brookes work! Sadly Dr. Brookes died just before he was going to go worldwide with the olympics but Coubertain decided to help Dr. Brookes get his fame, so he help Dr. Brookes by taking it worldwide and not to be offensive to the french but Coubertain just gpt Greedy and took ownership over a dead mans work! I was so angry to not hear Dr. William Penny Brookes name or even Much Wenlock being mentioned!!!! I'm going to complain anyway!! Now you know that the Olympics was a work of Dr. William Penny Brookes and not some french guy who randomly apeared on the scene!!! If you don't believe me look for yourself on wikipedia, look at William Penny Brookes and what he did compared to Coubertain!! This was Dr. William Penny Brookes dream! Not Coubertain's, he just snatched it off of Dr. Brookes on his death bed!!!! Now go spread the word!!! NOW
Tradition.
It was the French who revived the Olympics
Modern olympics were the idea of a frenchman, Pierre de Coubertin - also because
knowing another language besides english is excellent for the mind, body and spirit
Because it is the primary language of the IOC. It is part of the contract that the host city must sign in order to host the games.
french people cause world war if not get own way
Cuz they like hairy women
Ikr mayb not too sound racist
