The original Olympic oath was first introduced in the 1920 Summer Olympics by Victor Boin. It goes like this: "We swear we will take part in the Olympic Games in a spirit of chivalry, for the honour of our country and for the glory of sport." In 1961 "oath" was replaced by "promise" and "the honour of our countries" became "the honour of our teams". "Committing ourselves to a sport without doping and without drugs" came in in the 2000 summer Olympics. (See I'm smart ;-)
