The Olympic Crest

The Olympic Crest, known as the Olympic Rings, features five interlinked rings representing the five inhabited continents (Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania). The rings are colored blue, yellow, black, green, and red on a white background, symbolizing the universality of the Olympic movement. This design, created by Pierre de Coubertin in 1913, illustrates global unity, friendship, and cooperation through sport. The interconnected rings emphasize the coming together of diverse nations to celebrate athletic excellence and promote peace worldwide.
