January/February 2026

One of the best changes to any motto in sports was made, oddly, by International Olympic Committee, an organization that prizes tradition. The original slogan, in Latin, was Citius, Altius, Fortius, ("Faster, Higher, Stronger"), adopted by the IOC all the back in 1894. In 2021, the IOC changed the motto of the Games to Citius, Altius, Fortius – Communiter. The last word meant “Together,” making the new motto “Faster, Higher, Stronger – Together.” Sports, even at the amateur level, should follow this philosophy. And that’s  a good New Year’s resolution.
