The dialogue addressed issues such as the role of sports competition, the importance of the philosophy of Olympism, the ethics of fair play and the challenges related to brutal forms of competition related to gladiatorial games. Participants in the dialogue emphasized the need to comply with the principles set out in the Code of Ethics of the International Olympic Committee, including respect for the dignity and good – physical, mental and social – of a human being.
