What is higher, faster and stronger in the Olympic Games?
This is the Olympic motto.

The Olympic motto is also called the Olympic slogan. The Olympic movement has a famous motto: "Faster, higher and stronger." This maxim was said by Henri Didong, a good friend of Coubertin and the abbot of L 'Aquile Abbey in Paris, at an outdoor sports meeting to encourage students. He said: "here, your slogan is: faster, higher and stronger."

Coubertin borrowed this sentence and used it in the Olympic movement. 1920, it was officially recognized as the Olympic motto by the International Olympic Committee, and was first used at the Antwerp Olympic Games. Since then, the Latin Olympic motto "Citius, Altius, Fortius" has appeared in various publications of the International Olympic Committee. The Olympic motto fully expresses the spirit of continuous progress and never-ending struggle advocated by the Olympic Movement. Although there are only six short words, its meaning is very rich. It not only means that we should not be afraid of strong players, dare to struggle and dare to win in competitive sports, but also encourage people to be unwilling to be mediocre in their own lives and work, always full of vitality, keep forging ahead, surpass themselves and exert their potential to the limit.
