The Olympic Flag

The Olympic flag is well known with a white background that stands for peace, and 5 interlocking rings.

The 5 interlocking rings on the Olympic flag each has different colors blue, yellow, black, green and red. These colors were chosen by the 2nd founder of the International Olympics Committee Baron Pierre de Coubertin, he was inspired from a Greek Artefact and got  the ideas to design the Olympic rings. Each ring represents a continent the blue ring stands for Europe, the yellow ring stands for Asia, the black ring stands for Africa, the green ring is for Oceania and the red ring stands for America. Usually there are 7 continents but North America and South America were counted as 1 continent and called America, Antarctica is another continent but Antarctica has no representatives from the continent

The flag with a white background and 5 rings is the flag that represent the countries that come together to be united as one.
