Presentation
In the modern Olympics, some things are the same no matter which country is hosting, and some things change.
For example, the Olympic symbol is always the same. The five rings stand for the five continents united together. The blue ring stands for Europe, the red ring for America, the yellow ring for Asia, the green ring for Australia and the black ring for Africa.
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.
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.
Some things have stayed the same,
and some things have changed over the years.
But one thing has always been the same
—to do the best and to compete fairly.
