Significance and meaning of the Olympic rings: This symbol symbolizes the gathering of athletes from five continents and the whole world at the Olympic Games, which fully embodies the content of Olympism and the theme of "Olympic family" of "all countries-all nationalities".
The Olympic logo was originally designed according to Coubertin's proposal in 19 13. At first, the International Olympic Committee used blue, yellow, black, green and red as the colors of the five rings, because it could represent the colors of the national flags of IOC member countries at that time. 19 14 at the Olympic plenary meeting held in Paris to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the revival of the Olympic Games, Mr. Coubertin expounded his design concept of the logo: "The five rings-blue, yellow, green, red and black rings, symbolizing the sixth color that five continents in the world recognize the Olympic Movement and are ready to participate in the Olympic Games-mean that all countries can participate in the Olympic Games without exception. Therefore, the five rings, as the symbol of the Olympic Games, embody Coubertin's thought that colonial nationalities can be absorbed to participate in the Olympic Games and serve the peace cause of all ethnic groups.
The colors of the Olympic rings: blue, yellow, black, green and red, have become symbols of the five continents. With the passage of time and the development of the Olympic movement, the interpretation of the Olympic symbol has also changed. According to the supplementary explanation of 199 1 the latest edition of the Olympic Charter, the meaning of the Olympic flag and the five rings not only symbolizes the unity of the five continents, but also emphasizes that all participating athletes should meet each other in a fair and frank sportsmanship.
The meaning of the Olympic five-ring flag: At the opening of each Olympic Games, an Olympic flag must be hung high in the center of the stadium, and there are five rings in the middle of this white flag. It was made according to the suggestions and ideas of Baron Pierre De Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games.
The five rings of different colors of the Olympic flag (sky blue for Europe, yellow for Asia, black for Africa, grass green for Australia and red for America) are connected together, symbolizing the unity of the five continents and that athletes from all over the world will gather in the Olympic Games in a fair and frank competition and friendly spirit, thus promoting the development of the Olympic movement.
