OLYMPIC RINGS -  The rings are five interlocking rings, colored blue, yellow, black, green and red on a white field, known as the "Olympic rings".  The rings represent five world continents, Africa, Asia, America, Europe and Australia.  The symbol was originally designed in 1912 by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, co-founder of the modern Olympic Games.  According to Coubertin, the colors of the rings together with the white of the background included the colors composing every competing nation's flag at the time.
