2.1.4. Mind mapping. What do you know or associate with the Olympic Games?

2.1.5. Reading. The history of sports. The Olympic Motto

This text was adapted from http://registration.olympic.org/en/faq/detail/id/29

The motto of the Olympic Games is three Latin words: Citius, Altius, Fortius. In English, these words mean faster, higher, stronger. Pierre de Coubertin first heard this motto in 1881 at a school sports event, and liked it so much that he used it later as the Olympic motto. The motto expresses that the Olympic Games has a moral and educational aspect in addition to its athletic and technical aspects.
