The 5 rings represent the 5 continents. They are interlaced to show the universality of Olympism and the meeting of the athletes of the whole world during the Olympic Games.

At first, the way the rings were interlaced was sometimes a little odd compared with what we are use to today.

Nowadays, the Olympic symbol is subject to very strict rules. Graphic standards have been set down, which determine, for example, the exact position of each ring.

The colors of the rings also represent the whole world, as there is not a national flag in the world that does not have at least some red, green, blue, yellow, or black in it.
