At the age of 80, EOA President Manfred Laemmer still burns with the same fire for the Olympic idea. The Cologne-based sports historian, who completed his habilitation in history and classical philology and directed the Institute for Sport History at the German Sport University Cologne for over 30 years, has been shaping the Olympic Movement in Europe for half a century.

The event will take place in Frankfurt and will address the Olympic Movement. The event will take place in the evening. More information on the programme is following very soon.
