According to most accounts, the five Olympic rings symbolise the five major regions of the Earth: The Americas, Africa, Europe, Asia and Oceana. The colours of the rings (blue, yellow, black, green and red) are said to have been chosen because every flag in the world includes at least one of the ring colours.
