International Olympics Games

The main aims of the International Olympic Games are to get rid of the social and economic discriminations through games. Olympic Games are just like festivals for the people who believe in secularism. A player has no religion, color or any distinctive identity in the ground. They are just sportsmen.

The Olympics motto is made up of three Latin words:

CITIUS – ALTIUS – FORTIUS

(FASTER — HIGHER — STRONGER)

These three words encourage athletes to give their best during competition.

The motto can be compared to the Olympic creed which says:

The important thing in life is not the triumph, but the fight; the essential thing is not to have won, but to have fought well

 Together, the Olympic motto and creed embody an ideal that Coubertin believed in: that giving one’s best and striving for personal excellence were worthwhile goals. And where better to do this than through the pursuit of sport and participation at the Olympic Games? This is an important life lesson that is still equally valid today, not just for athletes but for everyone.
