"Achievements are not only about whether you can get or how many medals you can get, but also about embodying the Olympic spirit, self-improvement, overcoming yourself and surpassing yourself."
Over the past few days, ice and snow athletes from all over the world have gathered at the Beijing Winter Olympic Games to write stories of dream chasing with hard work and sweat under the inspiration of the Olympic motto of "faster, higher, stronger - more united". Whether it is a newcomer who has made his debut or a veteran who has participated many times, he is surpassing himself and challenging the limit. From "faster, higher, stronger" to "faster, higher, stronger – more united", the evolution of the Olympic motto profoundly explains the characteristics of the Olympic spirit. The Beijing Winter Olympics is not only a arena for conveying passion and dreams, showing courage and strength, but also a stage for lyrical struggle and unity.
