His prominent role as a leader in the fight against apartheid and his advocacy for human rights embodied the Olympic spirit of unity and diversity. Tutu's presence highlighted the importance of overcoming past divisions and promoted a message of hope and healing, aligning with the Olympic values of friendship and solidarity.
