About this word search
The Decathlon has ten events and the Heptathlon seven, from the Greek words for ten and seven. The Paralympics take place in the same host city, usually a couple of weeks after the Olympic Games.
The modern Olympic motto is faster, higher, stronger, together, with the last word added in 2021. Motto is one of the shorter words on the list and easy to overlook.
Opening ceremony and Weightlifting are long and easy to anchor in an eighteen by eighteen grid that uses every direction. The Q in Equestrian and the V in Velodrome help after that.
