Who was Henri Didon?
Henri Didon was a French Dominican writer, and educator, and reputedly the greatest French preacher of his day.
The Olympic motto Citius altius fortius, suggested by his friend Pierre de Coubertin in 1894 and official since 1924 dates back to one that Didon coined for a Paris youth gathering of 1891.
