Specification:
The Olympic Games, the most significant sporting event in the world, have been convincing us every four years since their revival in 1896 that humanity has few such festivals that could compete with this unique heritage of antiquity in tradition, beauty, and nobility of ideas.
Their symbol - five interlocking rings of different colors - expresses the desire for the rapprochement of nations from all inhabited continents. Their motto - Citius, altius, fortius (faster, higher, stronger) - is a challenge for all athletes in the world to measure their strength in the spirit of chivalry, to honor the defeated in victory, and to seek moral strength for future victories in defeat. All this should be carried out in the spirit of the legacy of the founder of the modern Olympic Games, Pierre de Coubertin: "The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win, but to take part, because the essential thing in life is not conquering, but fighting."
