The Olympic Motto

The Olympic Motto




  • ''Citius, Altius, Fortius'' () ''Swifter, Higher, Stronger.''

  • Baron De Coubertin borrowed the motto from the headmaster of Acrueil College in Paris, Father Henri Martin Dideon himself.

  • Father Dideon had used the motto to describe the great and magnificent achievements of atheletes at his school.

  • Coubertin felt it could be used to decribe and make people near and far realise and discover the goals and fantastic athletes all over the world.
