    Mountain biking

    The Olympia Triumphans, for example, is a response to the architecture in the Olympic Park. Her muscular legs take up the supports of the stadium, her round butt cheeks the shapes of the now demolished cycling stadium that stood near the sculpture. Martin Mayer planned the location precisely, source tz.de
    Translated by
    The large bronze sculpture was erected in the Olympic Park in Munich in 1972. The Olympia Triumphans depicts a mighty and powerful female athlete balancing on a ball with her hands. She stretches her legs spread towards the sky.

    The work has a height of 5.10 m, of which 1.25 m is for the base. The bronze casting was carried out by the Werner Braun foundry, the concrete base by Heilmann & Littmann.

    The Latin inscription in capital letters on the sphere reads:

    OLYMPIA TRIUMPHANS
    PER NATURAM AD ARTEM
    PER ARTEM AD NATURAM
    AD HOMINUM PIETATEM
    AD HUMANITATEM
    EXTRUENDAM


    The translation for this is:

    Triumphant Olympia
    Through nature to art
    Through art to nature
    For the piety of man
    For the building of humanity
