The meaning and the values of Olympism are conveyed by symbols.Among these are the rings, the motto and the flame.These symbols transmit a message in a simple and direct manner.They give the Games and the Olympic Movement an identity.Pierre de Coubertin intended the Olympic Games to be an international event from the time of their reestablishment in 1896 in Athens (Greece), it was only at the 1912 Games in Stockholm (Sweden) that, for the first time, the participants came from all five continents. The five rings represent the five continents. They are interlaced to show the universality of Olympism and the meeting of the athletes of the world during the Olympic Games.On the Olympic flag, the rings appear on a whit
e background. Combined in this way,the six colors of the flag (blue, yellow, black, green, red and white) represent all nations.It is a misconception, therefore, to believe that each of the colors corresponds to a certain continent.The Olympic flag has a white background, with five interlaced rings in the center: blue, yellow, black, green and red .
This design is symbolic; it represents the five continents of the world, united by Olympic, while the six colors are those that appear on all the national flags of the world at the present time.
