Abstract	From the beginnings of the history of modern Olympics, more than a hundred years ago, educational or pedagogical arguments dominated the discourse on Olympism and Olympic games. Today different thinkers, teachers and philosophers did attempts to define, understand and interpret modern Olimpism in the whole world. Pierre de Coubertin was both the spiritus rector and general manager of the modern international Olympics. At first and in general, the main purpose of the IOC was to organize Olympic Games in the rhytm of four years like the Olympians in antiquity, but by contrast to antiquity not always at the same place, but in changing cities of the world. Coubertin intended to create a new "religion" of modern Olympic sport, based on the ideals of antiquity. Material. Retrospective analysis of Olimpism understanding change and prospects of Olympic education as major elements of modern education on the whole. Research methods: analysis and generalization of scientific literature, historical documents, retrospective analysis. Result. Sport competitions are the example of educational possibilities. Olympic games must be work of art consisting of corporal competitions together with music, literature, science, philosophy and history. Games are the symbol of peaceful life in the modern world, that is characterized not only by conflicts, but also dynamism and progress. Education, educating and competition, in sport develop identically, and personality on the whole, her social competences, such as honest game, mutual respect and ability to live in the world with others the ultimate goal of Olympic education, to bring the deposit in the direction of peaceful collaboration of separate persons, groups, people, and states by means of sport competitions. A term "Olympic education" encapsulates the different educational possibilities created by sport on the whole. They are related to ethics of Olympic types of sport and find the expression in practice of sport, and also in the principles. They can be examined as the result of the suggestions and opinions, pulled out by different international experts in the Olympism and Olympic education area. Olympic education plugs in itself concrete and modern conception of social education or social educating, namely voluntarily observance of rules, norms and principles, extending from the ratified rules of sport competitions to more abstract principles of equality and justice. Accordingly, a term" Olympic education" determines education for internationality and universality in the sport area. As in any other sphere of life, the Olympic type of sport became the symbol of universality and internationality. Meeting and peaceful contests in the sport area can assist to strengthening of the peace and mutual understanding between people, if they come true in the sport spirit and fair play. It is a central idea of Olympic education, introduced by Coubertin, that until now it is in the Olympic games and in the Olympic sports and that was nominated by different philosophers and teachers all over the world. Maybe, it also is reason of world enthusiasm for Games. Conclusion. Olympic education plays independent and exceptional role in the modern and international system of education. Olympic education comes true all over the world in the form of the Olympic games. In some countries Olympic education was plugged in the system of national education, because the special projects were created in schools. All this is very important for advancement of Olympic idea and pedagogical aims of the Olympic movement. (Autor).
