1.Is the most important thing in the Olympic Games to win or not? If not then what is it?

"The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well."

2.What does the emblem of Olympic Games symbolize?

The five interlocking rings (blue, yellow, black, green, and red respectively) of the emblem was originally designed in 1913 by Pierre de Coubertin, to symbolize the five continents of the world taking part in the Olympic Games (the Americas are viewed as a single continent, and Antarctica is omitted).

3.How does the Olympic motto sound in English and in Latin?

"Citius, Altius, Fortius.", which is Latin for "Swifter, Higher, Stronger"
