Answer 2

Hi Got this from a site :-

According to the Olympic Charter, the five-ringed symbol "represents the union of the five continents and the meeting of athletes from throughout the world at the Olympic Games." Baron Pierre de Coubertin conceived of both the symbol and the flag. Not coincidentally, Coubertin is the founder of the modern Olympic Movement. The Olympic Committee adopted the flag in 1914, and it was first flown at the 1920 Antwerp Games.

While the charter isn't explicit, many believe that the colors of the flag-- blue, black, red, yellow, and green on a white field -- are used because at least one of these colors exists in each of the flags of the nations participating in the Olympics. This may be true; however, the notion that each ring represents a specific continent is not. The five interlocking rings represent the five continents brought together by the Olympic Movement.

The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games adds an additional layer of symbolism to the flag. Traditionally, eight people carry in the flag. Five of these flagbearers represent the continents, while the other three stand for the Olympic ideals of sport, environment, and culture.

dan brown in the da vinci code claims that The Pentacle almost became the Olympic seal. Its five points were exchanged for five inter-locking rings.but the t ruth is that The familiar five-ring Olympic symbol design was created during 1913-1914 by the founder of the IOC, Baron Pierre de Coubertin. He wanted it to represent the first five Olympic Games. Further confusion about the five-ring symbol comes from German propaganda efforts prior to the 1936 Olympics. At that time, German film-maker Leni Riefenstahl had the five-ring symbol carved in a rock at Delphi as a back drop for his pro-Nazi film (1936). Years later, American authors Lynne and Gray Poole mistook the old movie prop for an ancient carving! They perpetuated many misunderstandings of the Olympic Symbol in their 1963 book, History of the Olympic Games.

Answer 4

Symbolizing the universality of the Olympic movement, every nation's flag has at least one of the ring colors or the color of the flag's white background. The colors do not represent the continents.

Answer 5

the 5 modern earrings represent Asia, Africa, Europe, Americas (meaning North u . s ., South u . s ., and proper) they're represented as one ring, and the spectacular ring represents Oceania (it is Australia and the Polynesian and Micronesian Islands of the Pacific). the colors of the earrings or perhaps the white historic past of the Olympic flag represent a coloration from each and every of the flags of each and every continent.
