The Olympic flag. What's the slogan? What does the flame symbolize?

Five-ring Flag

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

The slogan is: Faster, Higher and Stronger.

The flame burning in the main venue during the Olympic Games is the Olympic flame, which symbolizes light, unity, friendship, peace and justice. The flame originated from ancient Greek myths and legends.

The flame originated from ancient Greek myths and legends. Prometheus, the ancient Greek god, stole the fire from Zeus to save the hungry and cold mankind, and brought it to the world. Once the fire reached the world, it could never be taken back. Zeus had to stipulate that a sacrifice must be made to him before the flame was lit. According to this myth, before the opening of the ancient Olympic Games, a grand lighting ceremony must be held, and the priests should light the Olympic flame from the altar. All the athletes will run to the torch together, and the first three athletes will carry the torch all over Greece, telling them to stop all wars and start the Olympic Games every four years.

after the modern Olympic movement resumed, Coubertin put forward the proposal of lighting the Olympic flame in 1912, and the ceremony of lighting the Olympic flame began in 1928. Since 1936, the Olympic flame has been lit from Olympia, Greece, the hometown of the Olympic Games, and then the torch relay has been transmitted to the host country, and it has arrived in the host city the day before the opening of the Olympic Games. When it enters the venue at the opening ceremony, the famous athletes of the host country usually light the fireworks on the tower until it is extinguished at the closing ceremony.

The flame was lit in 1952 for the Winter Olympic Games.

In p>1934, the Athens meeting of the International Olympic Committee decided to restore the old system of the ancient Olympic Games. During the Olympic Games, the Olympic flame was burned in the main stadium. The flame was taken from the Olympics and passed to the host country by torch relay. Before that, there was a tall tower burning with blazing fireworks in the main competition in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, from beginning to end in the 9th Olympic Games in 1928. It is the first time that this kind of activity was held in the Olympic Games. On July 2th, 1936, Olympia held an ignition ceremony for the 11th Summer Olympic Games. After that, each person held a torch and ran a 1 km relay, which passed through Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Hungary, Austria and Czechoslovakia and reached Berlin on August 1st. The whole distance was 3,75 km, and 3,75 people participated in the relay. From this session on, the International Olympic Committee officially stipulated that lighting the Olympic flame was an indispensable ceremony for the opening ceremony of each Olympic Games.
