Yes, Olympic athletes, along with coaches and officials, take an oath during the Opening Ceremony to compete fairly, respect rules, and remain doping-free. Introduced in 1920, this pledge has evolved to include commitments to solidarity, inclusion, and equality, representing a core promise to uphold the spirit of sportsmanship.
Key Details About the Olympic Oath

• The Commitment: Athletes promise to respect and abide by the rules in the "true spirit of sportsmanship".
• Anti-Doping/Cheating: Since 2000, the oath has explicitly included a commitment to competing without doping or cheating.
• Evolution: Modernized, it now emphasizes solidarity, non-discrimination, and equality.
• Participants: The oath is taken by representatives of the athletes, coaches, and judges, ensuring all sides of the competition are covered.
• History: The oath was first taken at the 1920 Antwerp Games.

The Opening Ceremony wasn’t that great imo. It wasn’t bad but lacked the wow factor.

I was excited to see my Tonga Man holding the big flag
