Olympic mottos and sayings
Faster, higher, stronger
Olympic motto "Faster, higher, stronger" "Faster, Higher, Stronger" encourages athletes to continue to participate in sports, strive for progress and pursue their own breakthroughs. The original text is the ancient Latin Citius, Altius, Fortius. It was first used around 1890 by a friend of Gubertin and a teacher at Arcueil College in Paris, Dominican Father Henri Didon. It was the first time he went to the outdoor sports field to participate in sports. At that time, he encouraged the students with this kind of talk. These three words gave Gubertan a deep impression and experience, and he decided to adopt them for the International Olympic Games. Then in 1920, the Seventh Olympic Games was held in Antwerp, and the five-ringed flag officially appeared in the Olympic Games.
There is a famous motto in the Olympic movement: "Faster, higher, stronger." This motto was said by Coubertin's friend Henri Didon, the abbot of Aquière in Paris, when he encouraged the students at an outdoor sports meeting held by his students: "Here, your slogan is: faster , Higher, Stronger." Coubertin borrowed it and became the Olympic motto. This sentence fully expresses the Olympic movement’s spirit of continuous progress and never-satisfied struggle. Although there are only six short words, the meaning is very rich. It refers to developing a fearless spirit, daring to fight, and daring to win when facing strong opponents in the arena. It also means never being satisfied with yourself, constantly defeating yourself, and pushing towards new limits. Not only that, this motto also encourages people to constantly surpass themselves and update themselves in all aspects of their lives, and always maintain vitality. The Olympic Movement is under the guidance of Olympism, with sports and the Olympic Games held every four years as its main activities, promoting the all-round development of people's physiology, psychology and social morality, communicating mutual understanding between people of all countries, and promoting mutual understanding among people in the world. An international social movement that popularizes Olympism around the world and safeguards world peace. The Olympic Movement includes an ideological system with Olympism as the core, an organizational system with the International Olympic Committee, International Sports Federations and National Olympic Committees as the backbone, and an activity system with the Olympic Games as the cycle.
The connotation of "faster, higher, stronger" is very rich. It fully expresses the Olympic movement's spirit of continuous progress and never-satisfied struggle and its spirit of fearlessness and courage to climb to the top. In the competition field, facing strong opponents, we should carry forward the fearless spirit of going forward, dare to fight and win. Never be satisfied with yourself, constantly defeat yourself, surpass yourself, achieve new goals, and reach new realms. We must dare to conquer nature, overcome the various restrictions that nature brings to human beings, break away from the constraints of nature on us, and gain greater freedom.
While Coubertin himself admired "faster, higher, stronger", he also strongly advocated "unity, peace and progress" as the most fundamental goals pursued by the Olympic movement. "Unity, friendship, peace and progress" is now not only the purpose of the Olympic Movement and the world's sports world, but has also become the common goal that all mankind needs, yearns for and pursues.
Participation is more important than winning
"Participation is more important than winning" is a widely circulated saying of the Olympic Movement and the belief of the Olympics. This is a paragraph that Coubertin quoted from the Bishop of Pennsylvania at the athlete awarding ceremony organized by St. Paul when he delivered an important speech at the reception banquet held by the British Communist Party during the 4th Olympic Games in London on July 24, 1908. Quote: "For the Olympic Games, participation is more important than winning." Coubertin quoted this sentence and gave a penetrating explanation: "The important thing in life is not the triumph but the endurance. The essence is not to win. It makes human beings braver, stronger, more prudent and more generous. This is the guiding ideology of our International Olympic Committee.
The valuable thing about "participation" is that the "participants" are noble. The quality, sincere attitude, dedication and pursuit of ideals are of far greater significance than rankings and medals. Only through participation can athletes continuously surpass themselves and others, and become faster, higher and stronger. Therefore, the awareness of "participation" is the spiritual pillar for most athletes from all over the world to participate in the Olympic movement.
It is precisely because of the role of "participation" consciousness and "participation" spirit that the Olympic movement can develop to the scale it is today, and its significance can go far beyond the scope of competitive sports. It is precisely because of the participation of many athletes from many countries and regions who cannot get medals or rankings that the Olympic Games promotes the growth and expansion of the Olympic Games itself. Moreover, through the friendship and exchanges between athletes from various countries, it contributes to the peace of the world and the well-being of all mankind. He has made valuable contributions to the cause of progress.
