Olympic Rings Symbol - History, Meaning, and Significance #2207808 (License: Personal Use)

The Olympic rings consist of five interlocking circles-blue, yellow, black, green, and red-set against a textured metallic backdrop, symbolizing the unity of the five inhabited continents. Designed by Pierre de Coubertin in 1913, the rings embody the Olympic Movement’s ideals of solidarity, excellence, and respect. Each color was chosen to ensure at least one ring matched the flag of every competing nation.
