Abstract: We establish extremality of Riemannian metrics g with non-negative curvature operator on symmetric spaces M=G/K of compact type with rk(G)-rk(K)le 1. Let g' be another metric with scalar curvature k', such that g'ge g on 2-vectors. We show that k'ge k everywhere on M implies k'=k. Under an additional condition on the Ricci curvature of g, k'ge k even implies g'=g. We also study area-non-increasing spin maps onto such Riemannian manifolds.
