What does each colour in the ring stand for?
The Olympic Rings are the one symbol that is now synonymous with the Olympic Games. Designed in 1913 by Pierre de Coubertin, they symbolize the five continents of Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe and Oceania. No one colour represents any one continent. However, the colours are significant in that every country who is part of the Olympic Family has one of these colours, including the white background, in their national flag. socrazy .
