Do you mean what do they stand FOR?? They were chosen because the five Olympic rings stand for the five major continents of the world, interlinked in friendship, and their colours were chosen because there is not a flag in the world that does not have at least one of those colours in it (black, green, blue, yellow and red).
5 rings on the Olympic Flag
According to most accounts, the Olympic rings were adopted by Baron Pierre de Coubertin (founder of the modern Olympic Movement) in 1913 after he saw a similar design on an artifact from ancient Greece. The five rings represent the five major regions of the world: Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania. Every national flag in the world includes at least one of the five colors, which are (from left to right) blue, yellow, black, green, and red. It is important to emphasize that Pierre de Coubertin never said nor wrote that the colors of the rings were linked with the different continents The Olympic Flag made its debut at the 1920 Olympic Games in Antwerp, Belgium. At the end of each Olympic Games, the mayor of that host-city presents the flag to the mayor of the next host-city. It then rests at the town hall of the next host-city for four years until the Opening Ceremony of their Olympic Games. Every time a country hosts the Olympics, a new emblem is created, with new meaning behind its conception.
