What do the Olympic rings mean?
The colours of the five interlocking rings represent the five participating continents: Australia, Africa, America, Asia and Europe. The colours are always arranged with blue, black and red across the top from left to right, and yellow and green along the bottom. Some suggest that each colour stands for a particular continent, but this has not been confirmed. The rings first appeared on the Olympic flag in 1913, designed by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympics. -
