What is the Meaning of the Olympic Rings

Our post that features 30+ Olympic activities for kids has been a big hit as we get ready to welcome the Winter Games.  We thought you might enjoy learning about the meaning of the olympic rings and their colors.

Pierre de Coubertin, the father of the modern Olympic Games, explains the meaning of the flag :

“The Olympic flag has a white background, with five interlaced rings in the centre: blue, yellow, black, green and red. This design is symbolic; it represents the five continents of the world, united by Olympism, while the six colours are those that appear on all the national flags of the world at the present time.” (1931)

    Hi – Can you please make the “Olympic Rings and what they stand for ” – editable, or change the words to “center” and “colors” (instead of centre and colours).

    Thank you SOO much!

      This text and spelling come directly from the Olympic Comittee and the accepted spellig of these two words, so we are not able to change due to copyright rules that we wish to follow. https://www.olympic.org/olympic-rings
