The Olympic games are the most important sports events in which thousands of athletes from around the world participate in a variety of competitions over 16 days.

People around the world wait in front of the TV to watch and support the athletes of their countries. It is the Olympic Spirit, the most important thing is not to win but to take part and to fight well.

But did you know that the Olympic games have some connection with Olive Oil too? In Greek mythology, the Olive tree was a symbol of peace.

The olive branch was also a sacred prize in Greece and it represented honor. An olive branch was used to award champion athletes in the ancient Olympic games, that´s why every champion wore a crown of olives in the 2004 Athens Olympics Games too.

Regarding our athletes, Spain is a land of passion and our internationally recognized elite athletes are proof of this. We will participate in Paris 2024 with more than 380 Spanish athlete.  Unlike the previous Olympics in Tokyo 2021, this edition will feature athletes such as Rafa Nadal and Carolina Marín, who could not participate in Japan due to health issues.
