Answer 4

Wukipedia explains it this way

"...The emblem of the Olympic Games is composed of five interlocking rings (blue, yellow, black, green, and red respectively) 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. Upon its initial introduction, de Coubertin stated the following in the August, 1913 edition of Revue Olympique:

The emblem chosen to illustrate and represent the world Congress of 1914 ...: five intertwined rings in different colors - blue, yellow, black, green, red - are placed on the white field of the paper. These five rings represent the five parts of the world which now are won over to Olympism and willing to accept healthy competition..."

Most people now feel the five rings represent the five continents Asia, Africa, America (North and South), Europe, and Oceania (Austraiia and surrounding areas) interlinking or overlapping to represent the unity between the continents during the Olympics.

And the five colors include at least one color in each of the countries flags.

I prefer the last two.
