The rings don't really represent a specific country. The five rings represent the major inhabited areas of the world, with the Americas being counted as one and Oceania including Australia and the other Pacific Islands. The colors show at least one of the colors in each of the flags of all the countries in the world. The Red and Blue, along with the white background are inclusive of the United States (and Great Britain and France among others).

∙ 11y agoBlue, yellow, black, green & red. At least one of these colours is found on the flag of every country competing in the Olympic games. They originally came from the union of continents in the Olympics games which were Africa, north & south Americas, Asia, Oceania & Europe. Traditionally in Europe, once the Olympic flame is lit during the olympic torch relay to it's final destination at the home ground, it can not got out. It's meant to be a bad omen for the games if it does. This year it went out while in the hands of footballer David Beckham!.....Big whoops! Uh oh ;)
