“Sport has the power to change the world.  It has the power to inspire, it has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair.  It is more powerful than governments in breaking down racial barriers.  It laughs in the face of all types of discrimination”, Nelson Mandela on the 25th May 2000 at the inaugural Laureus World Sports Awards in Monaco.
