Repost Of The Olympic Rings

The London Olympic began a few days ago, providing excitement for all sport enthusiasts everywhere.   In the midst of of this excitement, I wondered to myself, "what do the Olympic rings represent? Why are they there?" If you don't know, you might be interested to know what I have recently discovered.

The five rings symbolize five continents in the world and they are Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania. At least one of these colours are on each flag in the world. The rings are Interlocked to represent the peace throughout the world and that they want world peace. Also When coming together and doing world sports it brings happiness to one another.

The original owner of the olympic rings were designed in 1912 by a person called Baron Pierre de Coubertin. He created them because he wanted to include every country in the olympics that's why every flag has at least one of the ring’s colors.
