Objective of the study was to reveal new ideas about its social essence and role in modern society based on a critical analysis of the traditional understanding of Olympism.
Methods and structure of the study. In the course of the experimental work, an analysis of theoretical sources was carried out and a generalization of the scientific literature on the history of Olympism was carried out.
Results and conclusions. Like the movement of humanism, Olympism should by no means be described unequivocally as a socially homogeneous democratic movement. In different eras, Olympism, manifesting itself as a social institution, fulfilled and continues to fulfill fundamentally different social class orders.

Keywords: Olympism, historical roots, historical forms, traditional stereotypes, social heterogeneity, concrete social analysis.
