Regarding this, what three words make up the Olympic motto?
The Olympic motto is made up of three Latin words : Citius - Altius - Fortius. These words mean Faster - Higher - Stronger. It was the Dominican priest Henri Didon who first expressed the words in the opening ceremony of a school sports event in 1881.
Subsequently, question is, what do the 5 Olympic rings stand for? "A white background, with five interlaced rings in the centre: blue, yellow, black, green and red is symbolic; it represents the five inhabited continents of the world, united by Olympism, while the six colors are those that appear on all the national flags of the world at the present time."
Hereof, why are there only 5 Olympic rings when there are 7 continents?
No ring is specifically associated with a particular continent. But until 1951, the official Olympic mouthpiece suggested that out of the colors, Blue would stand for Europe, Black for Africa, Red for Americas( North & South), Yellow for Asia and Green for Oceania( Australia and all outlying islands).
What are the 5 Olympic values?
These are made up of three Olympic values – Friendship, Respect and Excellence – along with the four Paralympic values – Determination, Inspiration, Courage and Equality. The values underpin the Games as a set of universal principles, but they can be applied to education and our lives, as well as to sport itself.
