Description
The five interlaced rings symbolize the union of the five continents (Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania) and the meeting of athletes from throughout the world at the Olympic Games.
When Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games, created the Olympic rings in 1913, he intended for the five colors (blue, yellow, black, green, and red) combined with the white background to represent the colors of all the national flags of the countries participating in the Olympic Games at the time.
The interconnected design of the rings symbolizes the friendship, solidarity and sportsmanship that the Olympic Movement aims to foster among the athletes of the world.
Overall, the Olympic rings represent the universality of the Olympic Movement, the meeting of athletes from around the globe, and the core values of Olympism - excellence, friendship and respect.
