These days, preparations for the Paris Olympics 2024 are going on in full swing all over the world. The 2024 Olympic Games will begin on July 26 and will run till August 11, in which about 10,000 athletes are expected to participate. If we look at the history, the Olympic Games started in 1896 and for a long time we have been seeing 5 circular rings, which are the symbol of these games. Today, more than a century has passed since these games started, but a big question is why only 5 rings and what do they mean?

What do the Olympic rings mean?

The colors of these 5 rings are blue, yellow, black, green and red in order from left to right. Actually, these 5 rings were created by Pierre du Coubertin, former president of the International Olympic Association (IOC). These five circles symbolize the Olympic movement that started years ago. The Olympic ring symbolizes the five major continents of the world. These five continents are as follows: Africa, North and South America, Asia, Europe and Australia. All the countries around the continent are considered a continent.
