What are the eight words of the Olympic spirit?

The spirit of the Olympic Games is the words "peace, friendship, fairness and progress".

The Olympic Charter states that the Olympic spirit is the spirit of mutual understanding, friendship, solidarity and fair play. The Olympic spirit has a very important guiding role for the Olympic Movement. On the one hand, the Olympic spirit emphasizes tolerance and understanding of cultural differences.

On the other hand, the Olympic spirit emphasizes the fairness and justice of competitive sports. As the late Jesse Owens, a famous American black track and field athlete, said, "In sports, one learns not only to compete, but also to respect others, to live ethically, to live one's life and to treat one's own kind.

The meaning of the Olympics:

To bring the world together, the Olympic Committees of more than 200 countries and territories, along with the IOC Refugee Delegation, to meet peacefully in one country, in one city, in one athlete's village, to compete under one set of rules.

The Olympic Movement is a product of its time. The Industrial Revolution greatly expanded the links between the peoples of the world in the economic, political and cultural spheres, and the increasingly close interaction between countries created an urgent need for a variety of means of communication to strengthen international mutual understanding. The Olympic movement is precisely to adapt to this social need and the emergence of human society to a certain stage of development of the inevitable product.
