What is the motto for the 2018 Winter Olympics?

The motto for the 2018 Winter Olympics was “Passion. Connected.” The phrase was created for the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in South Korea and expressed the organizers’ goal of bringing people together through their shared enthusiasm for winter sports.

“Passion” referred to the dedication of athletes, spectators, volunteers, and communities involved in the Games. “Connected” emphasized unity, international exchange, and the links created through sport, technology, and Korean culture. The punctuation is part of the official styling, although quizzes may accept the phrase without the periods.

The Games were officially known as the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympics and took place from February 9 to 25, 2018. They featured several notable additions and milestones, including the first Olympic appearance of the mixed doubles curling event and the debut of snowboard big air. The motto is sometimes confused with the broader Olympic motto, “Faster, Higher, Stronger,” which was updated to “Faster, Higher, Stronger—Together” in 2021.
