Description: Olympics in Seoul State Medal, 5747-1987 The 24th Olympic Games will take place in Seoul, Korea, in September 1988. Israel will take part in these games and is a member of the big Olympic family, embracing over 160 nations of the world. Since Israel first participated in the games in 1952, in Helsinki, it has done so in each of the subsequent Olympics apart from those in Moscow in 1980. Up to the present, 152 Israeli athletes, both men and women, have participated. While acknowledging the motto "The importance is not in winning but in participating", Israel also tries to live up to the other Olympic motto of "Citus - Altius - Fortius" (Faster, Higher, Stronger). Israel has yet to win its first Olympic medal but the Israeli Olympic Committee is encouraging the country's sports institutes to elevate their athletic performance. To this day, the spirit of the 11 Israeli athletes, murdered at the Munich Olympic Games in 1972, lives in the minds of Israeli sportsmen.
