The five interlocking rings of the Olympic symbol, colored blue, yellow, black, green, and red on a white background, have multiple meanings:

• Number of continents
  The five rings represent the five inhabited continents: Africa, America, Asia, Europe, and Oceania.
• Equality of continents
  The rings are all the same size to show that the continents are equal.
• Unity
  The rings interlock and overlap to symbolize the unity of the world and the meeting of athletes from around the world at the Olympic Games.
• Colors and white background
  The colors of the rings and the white background represent the colors of the flags of every competing country at the time the symbol was created in 1913 by Baron Pierre de Coubertin:
• Olympism
  The rings also represent the world being united by the goals of Olympism, which are a set of values highlighted in the Olympic Charter. Some of the values of Olympism include non-discrimination, sustainability, humanism, universality, solidarity, and the alliance between sport, education, and culture.
• The Olympic Flame (Torch) The Olympic flame symbolizes the positive values associated with fire, such as peace and friendship, and connects the modern Olympic Games to their ancient heritage. The flame's tradition dates back to the ancient Greek Olympic Games, when a large fire was kept burning throughout the ceremonies and competitions.
