Olympic Rings Symbol | History, Meaning, and Official Use #2207779 (License: Personal Use)

Designed by Pierre de Coubertin in 1913, the Olympic rings consist of five interlaced circles-blue, yellow, black, green, and red-on a white field, symbolizing the union of the five continents and the meeting of athletes from across the world. The colors were chosen because at least one of them appears in every national flag, reinforcing inclusivity and global participation. This emblem is central to Olympic branding and appears on flags, medals, uniforms, and official communications.
