The Birth of the Ring Flag
In June 1914, the IOC held its 16th Plenary Session in Paris. The closing day of the plenary session - June 23 - coincided with the 20th anniversary of the day that Coubertin first convened the Olympic Conference at the Paris Sorbonne to recommend the revitalization of the ancient Olympic Games. On the joyous occasion of the 20th anniversary of the birth of the Olympic movement, IOC President Baron Coubertin presented the attending members with his masterpiece, the IOC flag, which consists of a clean white background and a five-color circle of blue, yellow, black, green and red.
Gubaidan elaborated on the symbolism of the flag: "The five rings of blue, yellow, black, green and red represent the five continents competing in the Olympic spirit. In addition, the six colors (including the white background) contain, without exception, the colors of the flags of the countries of the world. Yellow and blue represent Sweden, blue and white represent Greece and France, and the tricolors of Britain, the United States, Germany, Belgium, Italy, and Hungary are all included; yellow and red represent Spain, and the colors of Brazil, Australia, Japan, and China are also included. It is clearly an international symbol." The plenum erupted in applause, as participants marveled and rejoiced at the flag's form, colors, and the significance it implied.
The five different colored rings were later interpreted as the five Olympic rings
Also known as the Olympic rings, they are sky blue, yellow, black, green and red from left to right. This logo is the first modern Olympic Games, designed by the proposal of Coubertin, the initial design concept is that it can summarize the colors of the national flags of Member States, but later on there are other interpretations of the five colors. 1979 IOC published the Olympic Review (40th) stressed that the meaning of the five rings is "a symbol of unity of the five continents, athletes around the world in the form of a fair and frank play and a spirit of friendship, meet at the Olympic Games". A symbol of the five continents .
The story of the origin of the five Olympic rings
Talking about the origin of the five rings, there was once such an interesting story. In 1936, the 11th Berlin Olympic Games held the first torch relay event, the torch route from Olympia, out of northern Greece, along the Danube River through Austria, and finally into Germany. In order to set the scene for this symbolic event, Karl Diem, President of the Organizing Committee of the Olympic Games, and his colleagues decorated the ancient Greek sites along the route almost exactly as they would have been for the ancient Olympic Games. A special ceremony was to be held when the torch arrived at the ancient stadium on Mount Delphi Panasas, when Diem had the idea of designing and carving the five rings of the modern Olympic movement on four sides of a rectangular stone about three feet high, placed at one end of the starting line of the ancient stadium. After the ceremony, the torch continued its journey north while the stone, which was used as a prop, was left at the ancient stadium.
Because few people knew the true identity of the stone with the five rings (later called the "Stone of Dim"), it was for a long time treated as a "3,000-year-old relic of the ancient Olympic Games". The falsehood was not pointed out by Greek officials in Delphi until the 1960s, and in May 1972 the fake artifact was sent to another part of Delphi - the entrance to an ancient Roman square.
In fact, the five-ringed symbol of the modern Olympic movement is from the hand of Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympics. The idea that the Olympic movement should have its own symbol had been in his mind for a long time, and in 1913 he finally conceived the idea of a five-ringed logo and an Olympic flag with five rings on a white background, which he intended to launch on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the founding of the IOC.
In June 1979, the IOC officially announced the meaning of the flag and the five rings: according to the Olympic Charter, the meaning of the Olympic flag and the five rings is: to symbolize the unity of the five continents and the athletes from all over the world who meet at the Olympic Games in a spirit of fairness, frank play and friendship.

The most widely circulated symbols in the world today are the Five Olympic Rings, which have become an image of the Olympic spirit and culture with the development of the Olympic movement, and wherever the Five Rings "turn", the Olympic movement takes root and blossoms.
Talking about the origin of the five rings, there was once such an interesting story. In 1936, the 11th Berlin Olympic Games held the first torch relay activities, the torch relay route from Olympia, from northern Greece out of the country, along the Danube River through Austria, and finally into Germany. In order to set the scene for this symbolic event, the President of the Organizing Committee of the Olympic Games, Karl 6.1 Diem, and his colleagues set up the ancient Greek sites along the route almost exactly as they had been in the ancient Olympic Games. When the torch arrived at the ancient stadium on Mount Delphi Parnassus to hold a special ceremony, it was Dime's idea to design and carve the five rings of the modern Olympic movement on all sides of a rectangular stone about 3 feet high, placed at one end of the starting line of the ancient stadium. After the ceremony, the torch continued its journey north while the stone, which was used as a prop, was left at the ancient stadium.
Because few people knew the true identity of the stone with the five rings (later called the "Stone of Dim"), it was for a long time treated as a "3,000-year-old relic of the ancient Olympic Games".

June 15-23, 1914, the IOC held a congress at the Sorbonne in Paris, France, while celebrating the 20th anniversary of the founding of the IOC. At the commemorative congress, Coubertin excitedly took out his own design of the five-ringed logo and a flag with the five rings on it to show them to everyone, and suggested that they should be used as the symbols of the Olympic movement. After listening to the explanation of the five-ringed symbol by Coubertin, the conference determined that the five Olympic rings and the Olympic flag should be used as the Olympic symbol.
The five Olympic rings symbol consists of five Olympic rings snapped together from left to right, either in a single color or in five colors: blue, yellow, black, green and red. The initial interpretation was that the five colors represented the colors of the national flags of the countries, and later the five different colored rings were interpreted as symbols of the five continents. The IOC chose five connected rings as its logo and chose the corresponding colors. The five rings represent the five continents: Oceania, Africa, America, Asia and Europe. A deeper meaning is that it represents athletes from all over the world gathered at the Olympic Games.
The plain white background symbolizes peace.
The five colors, from left to right, are: three blues, black and red at the top, and yellow and green at the bottom.
The five Olympic rings represent the five continents. Yellow is Asia, black is Africa, blue is Europe, red is America and green is Oceania. The five rings are interlocked, symbolizing the unity of the people of the five continents,**** invigorating the Olympic spirit!
