The meaning and origin of the logos of previous Olympic Games~

The five-ring symbol of the modern Olympic movement was designed by Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympics. On the 20th anniversary of the founding of the International Olympic Committee in 1914, the International Olympic Committee decided to adopt the Olympic rings and the Olympic flag as the Olympic symbols.

The Olympic five-ring logo is composed of five Olympic rings connected from left to right. It can be a single color or five colors: blue, yellow, black, green, and red. The initial explanation was that the five colors represented the colors of national flags, and later the five rings of different colors were interpreted as symbols of the five continents.

The Olympic flag is 3 meters long and 2 meters wide, with a white background, symbolizing purity. The five rings of blue, yellow, black, green and red are interlocking. In 1920, the Olympic flag flew for the first time at the Antwerp Summer Olympics Stadium. After this Olympic Games, the Belgian Olympic Committee presented the same flag to the International Olympic Committee. Since then, in all Olympic Games, the last host city has transferred this flag to the current host city at the opening ceremony, and the current host city will keep it. During the competition, only a substitute is hung in the main stadium. In 1952, the City of Oslo, Norway presented the Winter Olympics flag to the International Olympic Committee, which was used in the same manner as the Summer Olympics.

In June 1979, the International Olympic Committee officially announced the meaning of the flag and the five-ring symbol: symbolizing the unity of the five continents and the fair, frank competition and friendly spirit of athletes from all over the world at the Olympic Games. Meet
