the meaning of the Olympic rings, the meaning of the Olympic rings, the pictures and colors of the Olympic rings

the meaning and meaning of the Olympic rings: the 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 first designed according to Coubertin's proposal in 1913. At first, the IOC adopted 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. At the Olympic plenary meeting held in Paris in 1914 to celebrate the 2th anniversary of the revival of the Olympic Games, Mr. Coubertin explained his design idea of the logo: "The five rings-blue, yellow, green, red and black rings, symbolizing the sixth color white of the five continents that recognize the Olympic Movement and are going to participate in the Olympic Games in the world-mean that all countries can participate in the competition under their own flags without exception." Therefore, as the symbol of the Olympic Games, the five interlocking rings reflect Coubertin's idea that colonial nationalities can be absorbed to participate in the Olympic Games and serve the cause of peace among all ethnic groups.

The colors of the Olympic rings: blue, yellow, black, green and red began to become the symbols of the five continents. With the passage of time and the development and changes of the Olympic movement, the interpretation of the Olympic symbols has also changed. According to the supplementary explanation of the "Olympic Symbol" in the latest edition of the Olympic Charter in 1991, 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 should be hung high in the middle of the sports ground, and there are five rings in the middle of this white flag. It was made according to the suggestion and conception of Baron Pierre De Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games.

The five rings in different colors of the Olympic flag (sky blue stands for Europe, yellow stands for Asia, black stands for Africa, grass green stands for Australia and red stands for America) are connected together to symbolize the unity of the five continents, symbolizing that athletes from all over the world will meet and get together in the Olympic Games with fair and frank competition and friendly spirit, so as to promote the development of the Olympic movement.
