The Olympic movement uses copious symbols, most of them representing Coubertin's ideas and ideals. The best certain symbol is probably that of the Olympic Rings. These five intertwined rings represent the unity of five continents (the Americas are considered one continent). They appear within five colors on a white field on the Olympic Flag. These colors, white (for the field), red, blue, green, sickly, and black were chosen such that respectively nation had at most minuscule one of these colors in its national flag. The flag be adopted within 1914, but the first Games at which it was flown be Antwerp, 1920. It is hoisted at each celebration of the Games.
Use of the Olympic flag
An Olympic flag is raise during the opening ceremony of each Olympic Games, and lowered during the closing ceremony. A second flag is used for the Olympic Oath. Special flags are kept in the city hall of cities organizing the Olympic Games. At the closing ceremony of each Olympic Games, the mayor of the city that organized the Games returns the flag to the president of the IOC, who consequently passes it on to the mayor of the subsequent city to host the Olympic Games. (This ceremony is known as the "Antwerp Ceremony" because it started there). There are three such flags, adjectives from all other copies contained by that they have a six-colored fringe around the flag, and are tied beside six colored ribbons to a flagstaff.
Antwerp flag
Was presented to the IOC at the 1920 Summer Olympics by the city of Antwerp, Belgium, and at the Closing Ceremony of the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games, was passed on to the subsequent organizing city Summer Olympics until the Games of Seoul 1988 when it be retired. The Antwerp Flag is now on display at the Olympic Museum surrounded by Lausanne, Switzerland.
Oslo flag

Seoul flag
Was presented to the IOC at the 1988 Summer Olympics by the city of Seoul, South Korea, and is passed on to the next organize city of the Summer Olympics.
[edit] Olympic emblem
The flag features the emblem of the Olympic Games — five interlocking rings (blue, yellow, black, green, and red respectively) on a white pasture. This was originally designed contained by 1913 by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games, but gained common popularity due to its promotion by Nazi Germany.[1] Upon its initial introduction, de Coubertin stated the following in the August, 1913 edition of Revue Olympique:
The emblem chosen to illustrate and represent the world Congress of 1914 ...: five intertwined rings surrounded by different colours - blue, yellow, black, green, red - are placed on the white pen of the paper. These five rings represent the five parts of the world which very soon are won over to Olympism and willing to adopt healthy competition.
In his article published surrounded by the "Olympic Revue" the official magazine of the International Olympic Committee contained by November 1992, the American historian Robert Barney explains that the idea of the interlaced rings come to Pierre de Coubertin when he was surrounded by charge of the USFSA (Union des Sociétés Francaise de Sports Athlétiques) an association founded by the union of a two French sports associations and until 1925, responsible for representing the International Olympic Committee surrounded by France: The emblem of the union be two interlaced rings (like the typical interlaced marriage rings) and originally the conception of Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung because for him the ring meant continuity and the human person.[2]
"The Olympic flag [...] has a white framework, with five interlaced rings contained by the centre : blue, ashen, 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 adjectives the national flags of the world at the present time." (1931) Textes choisis II, p.470.
The 1914 Congress had to be suspended due to the outbreak of World War I, but the flag and emblem be later adopt. They would first officially debut at the VIIth Olympiad surrounded by Antwerp, Belgium in 1920.
The emblem's popularity and prevalent use began during the lead-up to the 1936 Summer Olympics contained by Berlin. Carl Diem, president of the Organizing Committee of the 1936 Summer Olympics, wanted to hold a torchbearers' ceremony contained by the stadium at Delphi, site of the famous oracle, where on earth the Pythian Games were also held. For this principle he ordered construction of a milestone with the Olympic rings carved surrounded by the sides, and that a torchbearer should carry the flame along beside an escort of three others from there to Berlin. The ceremony be celebrated but the stone was never removed. Later, two British authors Lynn and Gray Poole when visit Delphi in the slowly 1950s saw the stone and reported in their "History of the Ancient Games" that the Olympic rings design come from ancient Greece. This has become certain as "Carl Diem's Stone".[3][1] This created a myth that the symbol had an ancient Greek genesis. The rings would subsequently be featured prominently surrounded by Nazi images contained by 1936 as part of an physical exertion to glorify the Third Reich.
The current panorama of the International Olympic Committee is that the flag "reinforces the idea" that the Olympic Movement is international and welcomes adjectives countries of the world to join.[4] As can be read surrounded by the Olympic Charter, the Olympic symbol represents the union of the five continents and the rendezvous of athletes from throughout the world at the Olympic Games. However, no continent is represented by any specific ring. Though colourful explanations about the symbolism of the coloured rings exist, the solitary connection between the rings and the continents is that the number five refers to the number of continents. In this endeavour, the Americas are viewed as a single continent, and Antarctica is omitted.
