Irina Viner ridiculed the motto of the Olympic Games due to the absence of the strongest Russians
President of the All-Russian Federation of Rhythmic Gymnastics Irina Viner ridiculed the motto of the Olympic Games. Her words are quoted by Sport24.
“The motto of the Olympic Games according to Pierre de Coubertin: “Faster, higher and stronger.” How can this motto be fulfilled at the Olympics if there are no strongest?” – she said.
On December 8, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced the admission of Russians and Belarusians to the 2024 Olympics. They will be able to take part in the tournament as individual neutral athletes. At the same time, athletes who support a special operation in Ukraine and have connections with the armed forces or security agencies of Russia and Belarus will not get to Paris. Representatives of team sports will also miss the Olympics.
On July 20, 2021, the IOC officially adopted the updated motto of the Olympic Games. To the traditional slogan “faster, higher, stronger” the word together was added. The original motto was adopted in 1894 by the decision of the first Olympic Congress.
