  2. The symbol of the Olympic Games is composed of five interlocking rings (coloured blue, yellow, black, green, and red) on a white field. This was originally designed in 1913 by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games. These five rings stand for passion, faith, victory, work, ethic and sportsmanship.

    The idea of the interlaced rings came to Pierre de Coubertin when he was in charge of the USFSA, an association founded by the union of two French sports associations and until 1925, responsible for representing the International Olympic Committee in France: The emblem of the union was two interlaced rings (like the vesica piscis typical interlaced marriage rings) and originally the idea of Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung because for him the ring meant continuity and the human being.

    According to De Coubertin the ring colors stand for those colors that appeared on all the national flags of the world at that time.
