One of the most recognized symbols of the Olympicgames is the Olympic Rings. The rings were designedby French baron Pierre de Coubertin. They have beena part of the Olympics since 1916. But the rings aremore than just a set of pretty circles. Pierre deCoubertin designed them intentionally.

According to Pierre de Coubertin, the Olympic Ringswere designed to represent the five inhabitedcontinents of the world that competed in theOlympic games when the image was designed. Some

think that each ring represents an individual continent. However, that is not true.Instead, all of the rings are connected. This shows the spirit of the Olympics. The ringsrepresent bringing together people from around the world. The six colors that appear inthe Olympic Rings logo serve a similar purpose. They represent the main colors foundon the flags of all of the nations that compete in the Olympics.
