The living legacy of the 1996 Atlanta OLYMPIC Games

An exciting new day is dawning for Georgia, the nation and the world. The seemingly unlikely dream of a place where people from war-torn nations and developing nations can find peace, reconciliation, understanding, education, cultural exchange and training to compete for Olympic glory has been realized

Founded, on August 4, 1996, by HSH Prince Albert of Monaco and Dr. Marc Daniel Gutekunst, the ATLANTA DITC is a one of a kind international sports training facility with a two-fold mission: providing first-class training to enable participating athletes to compete in the US and internationally while furthering their education and promoting peace and reconciliation between these athletes and their nations.
