World Athletes Monument, Bronze sculpture in Midtown Atlanta, Georgia, US.

The World Athletes Monument stands 55 feet (17 m) tall on Peachtree Street at Pershing Point in Midtown Atlanta. Its conical Indiana limestone base, ringed by five stone bands with two aedicules on the Peachtree axis, carries a tholos of five Doric columns representing the five continents. Five bronze Atlases above the columns together hold a globe, and a cauldron inside the tholos emits a fire evoking the Olympic torch.

The monument was presented to Atlanta in 1996 by Prince Charles to celebrate the Centennial Olympic Games. It became the focal point of a major moment in 1997 when tens of thousands gathered at this location.

The five bronze figures carry a globe that represents how sports connect different parts of the world. People gather here to experience this message of global unity through athletic achievement.

The monument sits on Peachtree Street Northeast and is easy to reach on foot when exploring downtown Atlanta. The surrounding area provides space for viewing and standing, with nearby access to other parts of the city.

The monument was deliberately aligned with the tower of the Gothic Peachtree Christian Church a few blocks away, using a straight stretch of Peachtree Street that is unusual in Atlanta. The design came from an international competition won by Anton Glikin, a St. Petersburg architect and student of the Prince of Wales's Institute of Architecture.
