The five Olympic rings were esigned by a Frenchman named Baron Pierre de Coubertin in 1912. The five rings represent the five continents. They are interlaced to show the universality of Olympism.
Five interlaced O's.
The following is quoted directly from the IOC: "The five rings represent the five continents. They are interlaced to show the universality of Olympism and the meeting of the athletes of the whole world during the Olympic Games. On the Olympic flag, the rings appear on a white background. This flag translates the idea of the universality of the Olympic Movement. At least one of the colors of the rings, including the white background, can be found on the flag of every nation in the world."Read more: What_do_the_Olympic_rings_represent
The Olympic flag presented by Coubertin in 1914 is the prototype: it has a white background, and in the centre, there are five interlaced rings blue, yellow, black, green, and red. The blue ring is farthest left, nearest the pole.
This info from www.olympics.org: "The Olympic symbol consists of five interlaced rings of equal dimensions, used alone, in one or in five different colours, which are, from left to right, blue, yellow, black, green and red. The Olympic symbol (the Olympic rings) expresses the activity of the Olympic Movement and represents the union of the five continents and the meeting of athletes from throughout the world at the Olympic Games. But watch out! It is wrong, therefore, to say that each of the colours corresponds to a certain continent!" There is an even more comprehensive explanation at this address: http://multimedia.olympic.org/pdf/en_report_1303.pdf
The Olympic flag has a white background, with five interlaced rings in the center: blue, yellow, black, green and red. This design is symbolic and represents the five inhabited continents of the world, united by Olympic competition, while the six colors are those that appear on all the national flags of the world at the present time.
no archeoligist found a monument with the five olympic rings on. Hence the five olympic rings.
