In which year was the International Olympic Committee formed?

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) was founded on June 23, 1894, in Paris, France, by Pierre de Coubertin. His vision was to revive the ancient Olympic Games, which led to the first modern Olympic Games being held in Athens, Greece, in 1896. The IOC is headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland, and oversees the organization, regulation, and promotion of both Summer and Winter Olympic Games. The Olympic rings symbol, featuring five interlocking rings, represents the unity of the five continents participating in the Games.
