The history and culture of Greece and England, the Games of Olympia and the Tailteann games that were held near Dublin, according to the Irish sagas, in 829 BC. C., inspired the pedagogue Pierre deCoubertin (I/01/1863, Paris—IX/2/1937, Lausanne), first, to educate and perfect the youth spiritually and physically through sports and competition and, as this idea matures, with a universal vision, to restore the JO modern. England and Greece opposed the Olympic Games in Athens 1896 (later, Greece, after the resounding success, claimed to be the permanent headquarters of the Olympic Games and, faced with the refusal, called the Olympic Games a thief). Coubertinwith as much courage as the one shown against the English plunderer Lord Elginwho took the Hellenic sculptural wealth to England). Coubertin, dreamer, idealist, reformer of teaching methods, historian, humanist, Hellenist, he also created sports federations to unify competition concepts and rules. In 1923, on the eve of the Paris 1924 Olympic Games, and after the failure of the Paris 1900 Olympic Games, in which women participated for the first time, he sent the Belgian to America Henri de Baillet-Latour, vice president of the International Olympic Committee, to visit Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay and Mexico, arrived on February 16, and invite them to the second Parisian edition. He met with personalities of the time and that is how the Mexican Olympic Society was created on April 23, 1923, which is now the Mexican Olympic Committee. Carlos B. Zetina was the first headline; Tirso Hernandezvice president (general from San Luis Potosí, creator of the November 20 Parade in 1931), and names linked to sports that in the 1950s were cited in sports references: Alfonso Rojo de la Vega, Rosendo Arnaiz, Herminio Ahumadageneral Joaquin Amaro, Lamberto Alvarez Gayou, first holder of the Codeme. At the suggestion of Baillet-LatourBoth the South Americans and Mexico committed themselves, in addition to going with representations to Paris, to create and promote the sport with the organization of regional competitions, thus, Mexico organized the Central American Games of 1926, with the presence of Cuba and Guatemala. Olympic sport as an expression of competition and spectacle, a reflection of tradition, culture, economy, science, technology, and political interest, has transformed rapidly. From those babbles to the present, perhaps in analogy to consider the evolutionary process of the first flight of the brothers Wright to the first trip to the Moon and the latest space probes, including the James Webb Space Telescope, a hundred times more powerful than Hubble. The peak of sports in Mexico was reached in 1968, with Jose de Jesus Clark Floresthe hiring of foreign coaches, the height of the CDMX and, if this is the scale it means, we must remember and emphasize that there is still a lot to be done, essentially in knowledge and culture.
