The motto of the Olympic Games is "Citius, Altius, Fortius", which translates from Latin to "Faster, Higher, Stronger" in English. In 2021, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) added the word "together" to the motto, making it "Citius, Altius, Fortius – Communiter", which translates to "Faster, Higher, Stronger – Together".
The motto represents the Olympic movement's goals from an athletic, technical, moral, and educational perspective. Pierre de Coubertin, who is considered the father of the modern Olympic Games, adopted the motto after hearing it at a school sports event. The Dominican priest Henri Didon, the headmaster of Arcueil College in Paris, was the first to say the words.
The motto has inspired and motivated many Olympic athletes over the years.
The official slogan for the 2024 Paris Olympics is "Games Wide Open"
