Higher, faster, stronger

Olympic motto

The Olympic motto (Olympic Motto) is also called the Olympic slogan or the Olympic motto. The Olympic movement has a famous motto: "Higher, Faster, Stronger." (Higher, Faster, Stronger) This motto was coined by Henri Didon, Coubertin's friend and the abbot of Aquière Abbey in Paris. At an outdoor sports meeting held by his students in 1895, he said something when encouraging the students: "Here, your slogan is: Higher, Faster, Stronger."

Coubertin borrowed this sentence and applied it to the Olympic movement. It was approved by the International Olympic Committee in 1913 and officially recognized as the Olympic motto by the International Olympic Committee in 1920. It was used for the first time at the Antwerp Olympic Games and became part of the Olympic logo. Since then, the Olympic motto in Latin "Citius, Artius, Fortius" has appeared in various publications of the International Olympic Committee. The Olympic motto fully expresses the spirit of continuous improvement and never-satisfied struggle advocated by the Olympic movement. Although there are only 6 short words, its meaning is very rich. It not only means that in competitive sports, you must not be afraid of strong opponents, dare to fight and win, but also encourages people to not be content with mediocrity in their lives and work, and to Be energetic, always enterprising, surpass yourself, and maximize your potential.
