2. Sports is peace.

What matters is participation, not victory-Olympic motto

From the revival of the Olympic Games to the present, "faster! Higher! Stronger! " The motto of becoming a sports enthusiast. In the past 100 years, people have fought bravely on the sports ground for this. This was put forward by Henri Martin Didong, a close friend of Coubertin, in 1895, approved by the International Olympic Committee in 19 13, and became a part of the Olympic symbol in 1920.

"Hurry up! Higher! Stronger! " It not only refers to sports achievements, but also has a deeper meaning. It hopes that athletes will have a higher level and have the spirit of going forward bravely and constantly attacking. In addition, there are "sports is peace" and "what matters is not victory, but participation!" As a motto. The Sixth International Olympic Congress adopted "Faster! Higher! Stronger! " Slogan is an inseparable part of the IOC emblem.

Olympic flag

The International Olympic Committee has its own flag. The national flag has a white background and five interlocking rings in the middle, namely the Olympic rings. The colors of the rings from left to right are sky blue, yellow, black, green and red (monochrome can also be painted), which Coubertin chose because they can summarize the colors of the national flags of member countries, but later there were other explanations for these five colors. In the Olympic Review (No.40) published in 1979, the International Olympic Committee emphasized that the meaning of the Olympic flag and the five-ring flag is "a symbol of the unity of five continents, and athletes from all over the world gather at the Olympic Games in a fair and frank competition and friendly spirit. The flag of the International Olympic Committee was designed and produced in 19 13 according to Coubertin's idea. 19 14 Celebrates the 20th anniversary of the restoration of the modern Olympic Movement, which was first put forward at the Olympic Congress in Paris. 1920 During the Antwerp Olympic Games, the Belgian National Olympic Committee embroidered the same pennant and raised it at that Olympic Games. After the meeting, Belgium presented it to the International Olympic Committee and became the official flag of the International Olympic Committee. The flag handover ceremony has been held in the opening ceremony of previous Olympic Games. The representative of the host city of the last Olympic Games handed the flag to the President of the International Olympic Committee, who then handed it to the mayor of this host city, and then kept it in the municipal government building for four years before sending it to the next host city. The flags raised above the main venue of the last Olympic Games were substitutes.

The flag of the Winter Olympics was presented by Oslo 1952, Norway, and the handover ceremony was the same as that of the Summer Olympics.

According to the Olympic Charter, the "Olympic rings" are the symbols of the Olympics and the special symbols of the International Olympic Committee. Without the permission of the IOC, no group or individual may use them for advertising or other commercial activities. The main reason why the International Olympic Committee put forward this request to national Olympic committees is to protect the purity of the Olympic movement and avoid the abuse and commercialization of the Olympic symbols. 1In August, 1986, the Chinese Olympic Committee issued a notice in this regard, in which it was mentioned that the IOC requested national Olympic committees to take necessary measures to protect the Olympic symbols, and it was explained that the Olympic symbols included not only the "Olympic rings", but also the Olympic emblem, mascot pattern and the emblem of national Olympic committees.
