What is the symbol of the Winter Olympics?

The symbol of the Winter Olympics is the five-ring symbol.

On the flagpole of the Olympic Games, a flag with a five-color ring is flying, which was designed by Baron Coubertin, the "father of the Olympic Games". On June 23rd, 1914, it happened to be the 2th anniversary of Coubertin's first convening of the Olympic Conference in Sorbonne, Paris. Baron Coubertin, President of the International Olympic Committee, showed the emblem pattern he designed.

The pattern consists of five rings with different colors and the motto "Faster, Higher and Stronger". The rings are blue, black, red, yellow and green, including the colors of the national flags of all participating countries in the Olympic Games at that time.

The five-ring emblem has been "standard" since the Winter Olympics.

As early as the first Olympic Games in 1896, the Olympic emblem had already appeared. Only at that time, the emblem was still a simple poster form: in the majestic Acropolis, Athena, the patron saint, held an olive branch and watched the restored ancient Greek Olympic arena at the foot of the mountain, as if waiting for the winner to receive the honorary crown.

in the 15 years after the birth of the Olympic rings, the Olympic emblem is still a "private residence" for each host country to show its own historical, cultural and geographical characteristics, and it has never been used as a "standard" for the Olympic emblem.

It was not until 1928, at the Second Winter Olympics in St. Moritz, that the Olympic five-ring symbol first appeared in the poster-style emblem design: the Swiss national flag and the Olympic five-ring flag echoed each other against the background of Kolwach Peak.

It should be said that the appearance of the five-ring symbol on the emblem of the Winter Olympics is a historic leap, which shows the world the cosmopolitan nature of the Olympic Movement. The Olympic Games is a global sports event in which all countries that love peace and advocate fair competition can participate extensively. Since then, the five-ring symbol has become an indispensable and important element in the emblem of the previous Winter Olympics.
