The Official Olympic Flag

Created by Pierre de Coubertin in 1914, the Olympic flag contains five interconnected rings on a white background. The five rings symbolize interconnected to symbolize the friendship to be gained from these international competitions. The rings, form left to right, are blue, yellow, black, green and red. The colors were chosen because at last one of them appeared on the flag of every country in the world. The Olympic flag was first flown during the 1920 Olympic Games.
