What is the motto of the Olympics?

Olympic motto, also known as Olympic slogan or motto, is one of the purposes of the Olympic movement. Its content is "faster, higher and stronger" (English: "faster, higher and stronger", Latin: "Citius, Altius, Fortius").

Introduction:

"Faster, higher and stronger." This proverb was put forward by Henry Martin Didong. Didong was a good friend of Coubertin. He founded a sports school in Paris on 189 1. 1895 He took the above motto as his school motto. Coubertin appreciated this and was praised by the members of the International Olympic Committee at that time. Later, upon Coubertin's proposal, 19 13 was officially approved by the International Olympic Committee, and the above motto was formally written into the Olympic Charter. 1920, at the Sixth International Olympic Congress, the decision of "swifter, higher and stronger" was adopted as a part of the emblem of the International Olympic Committee, and this motto officially became a part of the Olympic symbol.

Connotation:

The connotation of "faster, higher and stronger" is very rich. It fully expresses the spirit of continuous progress and never-ending struggle of the Olympic Movement and the spirit of daring to climb the peak. In the competition field, in the face of strong players, carry forward the fearless spirit of going forward bravely and dare to fight and win. We are never satisfied with ourselves, constantly overcoming ourselves, surpassing ourselves, reaching new goals and reaching a new realm. We must dare to conquer nature, overcome all kinds of restrictions brought by nature, and get rid of the bondage of nature in order to gain greater freedom.

Coubertin himself advocated "swifter, higher and stronger", and at the same time, he vigorously advocated "unity, peace and progress" as the most fundamental goal pursued by the Olympic Movement. "Unity, friendship, peace and progress" is not only the purpose of the Olympic Movement and world sports, but also the common goal that all mankind needs, yearns for and pursues.
