The Olympic motto has since been changed to "Faster, Higher, Stronger, Together", which is the first update of the Olympic motto since 108.

At the137th plenary session of the International Olympic Committee held in March, 20021,IOC President Bach proposed to add "more unity" after the Olympic motto "swifter, higher and stronger" in order to better cope with the post-COVID-19 epidemic era. This proposal was supported by the IOC Executive Board.

"At present, we need to be more United, not only to deal with the COVID-19 epidemic, but also to deal with the enormous challenges we face. Today's world is interdependent, and individuals alone can no longer solve these challenges. Therefore, I propose that in order to achieve faster, higher and stronger, we need to work together and we need to be more United. " Bach said.

A higher, faster and stronger founder
