The Olympic motto Citius, Altius, Fortius (Faster, Higher, Stronger), was used for the first time. This was originally used as a motto by the Union des Societies Francaises de Sports Athletiques, a French sporting federation whose founding members included Pierre de Coubertin.
Peter John “Johnny” Weissmuller made his first Olympic appearance. He also participated in the 1928 Games and then went on to Hollywood where he famously became Tarzan.
