Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games and the International Olympic Committee (IOC), originally established the Latin motto “Citius, Altius, Fortius” (Faster, Higher, Stronger). Since 2021, it has been extended to include “Communiter” (Together). This motto embodies the spirit of striving for excellence and unity, which is celebrated through the awarding of gold, silver, and bronze medals.
