奥林匹克标志和五环旗
In 1914, Pierre de Coubertin wanted to design a flag and a symbol to represent the Olympic Spirit. As the founder of the modern Olympic Games, Coubertin chose a five-ring symbol as his design. He got the idea from a stone discovered at Delphi, Greece. The Paris Congress in 1914 used it as the official flag of the Olympics. The new flag appeared at the 1920 Olympic Games in Antwerp, Belgium for the first time. It was here that the five rings became the official Olympic symbol.
The Olympic symbol’s five rings come in five different colors. From left to right, they are blue, yellow, black, green and red. The rings are linked from left to right; the blue, black and red rings are placed at the top, the yellow and green rings at the bottom. The five-ring symbol means the five continents of the world. It also represents the union of the five continents and the meeting of athletes from around the world.
