Answer 1

According to most accounts, the rings were adopted by Baron Pierre de Coubertin (founder of the modern Olympic Movement) in 1913 after he saw a similar design on an artifact from ancient Greece. The five rings represent the five major regions of the world: Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania. Every national flag in the world includes at least one of the five colors, which are (from left to right) blue, yellow, black, green, and red.

Answer 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.

Answer 3

I learned this in Spanish class! I have no idea why though.

The colors are because those are the most common color in flags of countries. There is not one flag without one of those colors!

The reason for the rings is for the continents. They combined North America and South America, Asia, Africa, Europe, And they call Australia and other countries that are island Ocean- I forgot the other part of the word. and thats why!

Answer 4

Earth, Fire, Wind, Water and Heart

Answer 5

The five rings represent the continents of the Americas (North and South), Australia, Europe, Africa, and Asia. The rings are interlaced to show the coming together or meeting of the continents at the Olympics.

The logo was designed by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, founder of the modern Olympic Games, in 1913. He said of the design:

"The emblem chosen to illustrate and represent the world Congress of 1914, five intertwined rings in different colours - 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."

The rings were first introduced at the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp, Belgium
