Did you know the Olympic flag has a cool story? The iconic design with five interlocking rings was created in 1912 by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, founder of the modern Olympic Games. He wanted a symbol to represent the union of the five continents and the meeting of athletes from around the world. Contrary to popular belief, the colors of the rings don't correspond to specific continents. Coubertin chose them because at least one of these colors appeared on every national flag at the time: - Blue - Yellow - Black - Green - Red The white background of the flag represents peace. Coubertin also coined the famous Olympic ethos: "L'important c'est de participer", which can be translated as "To participate is what matters". This phrase embodies the Olympic spirit of unity and sportsmanship. This simple yet powerful design has become one of the most recognizable symbols worldwide, embodying the Olympic ideals of participation and global unity through sport.
