what does the 5 rings on the olympic flag mean?

Answer 1

The white background symbolizes peace and truth. The five rings represent the five continents of the world, but a prevalent post-facto interpretation has tied specific colors to specific continents:
• Blue representing Europe
• Black representing Africa
• Red representing America
• Yellow representing Asia
• Green representing Australia (Oceania)

The Olympic flag is a symbol of peace, goodwill, and global solidarity and tolerance. True to this meaning, she has lent her colors to many athletes who were unable to compete under their own flag.

At Barcelona in 1992, athletes from a part of Yugoslavia not represented at the Games participated as independent athletes under the Olympic flag. They did not march in the parade of flags, but the Olympic flag was raised on their behalf during award ceremonies for them. In the 2000 Games at Sydney, four athletes from East Timor were allowed to compete under the Olympic flag because East Timor did not have international status as an independent country.

Answer 10

I thnk it has to do with to with "the 5 continents". Antarctica is not included, and either the Americas are lumped together as on continent, or Austrialia wasn't included for some reason. I think...
