Olympic adage

The Olympic motto is also known as the Olympic slogan. The Olympic Movement has a famous maxim: "faster, higher, stronger." This maxim is encouraged by a friend of Coubertin, De Di, a dean of the Aquitaine in Paris, at an outdoor sports event held by his students. One of the words that the students said, he said: "Here, your slogan is: faster, higher, stronger."

Coubertin borrowed and used this sentence for the Olympic movement. In 1920, the International Olympic Committee officially recognized it as the Olympic motto and was first used in the Antwerp Olympic Games. Since then, the Latin "Citius, Altius, Fortius" of the Olympic adage has appeared in various publications of the International Olympic Committee. The Olympic adage fully expresses the spirit of continuous progress and unsatisfied struggle advocated by the Olympic Movement. Although there are only six short words, the meaning is very rich. It not only means that in the competitive sports, we must not fear the strong hands, dare to fight, dare to win, and encourage people to be unwilling to be mediocre in their own life and work. Vigorous, forever enterprising, surpassing yourself and bringing your potential to the limit.
