Olympic and Paralympic Games are coming. Will you rise in support or will you criticise?
The games are coming!
Athletes show the upmost respect.
Do not criticize their judgments.

The games are coming!
Athletes believe in true equality.
Do not criticize their wobbles.

The games are coming!
Athletes work to display excellence.
Do not criticize their hasty words.

The games are coming!
Extend friendship around the world.
Do not criticize their times.

The games are coming!
Athletes show true courage.
Do not criticize personal lives.

The games are coming!
Athletes use sport to inspire millions.
Do not criticize their appearances.

The games are coming!
Athletes demonstrate pure determination.
Do not criticize their preparation.

The games are coming!
We eat, sleep and perform for your country.
Do not criticize.
