The Olympic flag and emblem are one of the main attributes of the Games, which have been used at every competition since 1920 without exception.

Olympic Games
The Olympics is already more than just a tournament, it is more than a sports competition, more than a cultural event.
The Olympics are a whole life.
Although no, rather, the Olympics is an ideology.
Yes, exactly, ideology.

Olympic stories: pure gold medals were awarded only once
And like any ideology, the Olympics has its own ideologists, such as Pierre de Coubertin, its "bibles", such as the Olympic charter, its vows, hymns, heroes…
The Olympiad also has its own symbols, the main of which are the flag and the Olympic coat of arms depicted on it — five rings of different colors intertwined with each other.
Symbols
Let's start with the main thing — the five rings, a symbol that has appeared at all the Olympic Games without exception, since 1920.
On the classic Olympic flag, the rings are depicted on a white background, symbolizing world peace.
This symbol came to us from ancient Greece, when all wars stopped during the Olympics and peace reigned over civilization.
So in our time, the president of the International Olympic Committee goes to the headquarters of the United Nations a few months before the games, where he calls on all countries to stop fighting for the duration of the Olympics.
Not everyone, of course, listens to him, but this does not interfere with the symbol in any way.
So the white cloth invariably symbolizes peace.
Five intertwined rings of different colors are depicted on white.
Each of them symbolizes one of the five parts of the world, whose representatives take part in the Olympiad.
The blue ring is Europe.
Red is America.
Yellow — Asia.
Black is Africa.
Green, of course, Australia.
Blue, black and red are located in the upper row, yellow and green — in the lower one.
Intertwining with each other, the rings symbolize the unity of all parts of the world, all continents, all races, peoples and countries in the face of sports.
For the first time, the idea of using five multi colored rings on a white background was voiced in 1913 by the first president and founder of the modern Olympic Games, the French Baron Pierre de Coubertin.
In the same year, the first copy of the Olympic flag was sewn in the Paris atelier Bon Marche.
For the first time, the flag was put on public display in 1914 in the hall of the Sorbonne during the celebrations on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the modern Olympic movement.
This instance is the official model and standard for all its subsequent modifiers.

For the first time, it was planned to use the flag at the 1916 Olympics.
However, those Games were canceled due to the First World War that covered Europe.
Therefore, for the first time, the audience saw a white flag with five intertwined rings in Antwerp, Belgium.
Since then, the flag has become an integral attribute of every Olympic Games, and the five Olympic rings, the Olympic coat of arms, have been used in creating logos in different combinations and color schemes.
This symbol underwent maximum changes during the 1936 Olympics, held in the capital of nazi Germany, Berlin.
Instead of the already familiar rings arranged in two rows, the world saw the traditional German eagle holding the rings in its paws.
The rings, of course, were intertwined with each other, but they were rather not two rows, but one.
Remotely, the traditions were observed, due to the fact that the first, third and fifth rings from this row were slightly raised compared to the others.
Both the eagle and the rings were made in black and white.

Since then, monochrome rings have often been used in the logos of the Olympic Games of different years, but their order and arrangement have never been violated again.
The next innovation dates back to 1960, when the Games were held in Rome.
The Italian Olympic Games, recalling the history of the first medals that were hung around the neck of athletes, were generally distinguished by innovations.
Five rings were made in gray tones.
The way they were depicted was new: the world saw the Olympic rings for the first time, as it is fashionable to say now, in 3D.
The artists made them voluminous and placed them under the traditional Roman she wolf, who nursed two brothers who founded the capital of Italy.
Perhaps the Mexicans, who got the right to host the 1968 Olympics, approached the task more creatively than the others.
The rings were "embedded" in the inscription Mexico68 and were an integral part of the numbers 68, standing out in them due to the color.
The lower rings of the coat of arms formed the lower circles in the numbers 6 and 8.
In Sochi, where the 2014 Winter Olympics will be held, five rings symbolizing the five parts of the world are used everywhere: on medals, on the uniforms of athletes and volunteers, in the Olympic flag, on all official buildings…
The Russians even decided to perpetuate the five Olympic rings in architecture by placing five giant rings of different colors on one of the busiest interchanges in the region.
One of the rings is located next to the road, the other serves as an arch, passing the roadbed inside itself and hanging over passing cars.

However, in Sochi, these rings are not intertwined.
They are scattered around the interchange in any order.
All of them are arranged in such a way as to give the impression that a small part of them is dug into the ground, thanks to which they hold on without falling on cars and people passing by.
