The Olympic motto, “Faster, Higher, Stronger”, stays the same for every Olympics. And of course, the torch—a symbol of peace, light and friendship—is always there. ④
However, some things are different. The Olympic slogan, for example, is created by the host city, and it reflects the spirit of those Olympics. Do you remember the slogan for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games It was “One world, one dream”.
Each host country creates its own mascot and song. The Olympic mascot is often an animal with a national feature. The Olympic songs are always popular around the world. Do you remember the song “You and Me” It touched many people's hearts. ⑤
Some things have stayed the same,
and some things have changed over the years.
