Why are there only five rings in the Olympics and what do they mean?
The symbolic meaning of the Olympic Five Rings is to represent sports, prosperity, unity and world harmony. The five rings were first created in 1913 by French artist Pierre de Coubertin, who was the Secretary General of the Olympic Movement. Each ring is connected to another, signifying unity. These rings are interlinked and represent the international community coming together and embracing the Games. These rings signify that the significance of the Games is not limited to the games alone but also symbolise world support and uniqueness.
The rings represent the five continents
According to Rule 8 of the Olympic Charter, the Olympic emblem expresses the activities of the Olympic Movement and is considered a symbol of the universality of the Olympics. The symbol of these five rings reflects the participation of athletes and their design reflects the connection of five continents – Africa, Asia, Australia, America and Europe. Pierre de Coubertin designed the Olympic emblem. He created it by combining five colored rings with a white background. This design represents the colors of the flags of all countries without exception. Thus, this design of the Olympic rings symbolizes unity and common spirit for everyone around the world, revealing the unique spirit of the Games.
