Olympic Flag

The Olympic Flag is a symbol of the Olympic Games, featuring a white background with five interlinked rings in blue, yellow, black, green, and red. These rings represent the unity of the five inhabited continents—Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania—coming together through sport. The design emphasizes global harmony, friendship, and the Olympic ideals. The flag is traditionally raised during the opening ceremony, and its colors were chosen because every national flag in the world contains at least one of these colors. It serves as a visual symbol of the Olympic spirit and international cooperation.
