Coubertin borrowed this sentence from the Olympic Movement. Coubertin had his own understanding of this, which may be the best interpretation of the Olympic spirit: "The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not victory, but participation;" Just as the most important thing in life is not success, but struggle; But the most essential thing is not to conquer, but to struggle hard. "
1920, the international Olympic Committee officially defined "swifter, higher and stronger" as the Olympic slogan, also known as the Olympic motto, which was first used in the Antwerp Olympic Games in 1920. 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, the meaning is very rich, which not only means that we should not be afraid of strong players, dare to struggle and dare to win in competitive sports, but also encourages people to never be mediocre, full of vitality, keep forging ahead, surpass themselves and maximize their potential in their own lives and work.
