The Olympic Symbol contains five connected rings of equal dimensions. The colours of the rings are: blue, black, red, yellow and green.
Many people believe that the colors of the flag - blue, black, red, yellow, and green on a white background are used because at least one of these colors exists in each of the flags of the nations participating in the Olympics. This may be true; however, the idea that each ring represents a specific continent is not true. The five connecting rings represent the five continents brought together by the Olympic Movement.
The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games adds an additional layer of symbolism to the flag. Traditionally, eight people carry in the flag. Five of these flagbearers represent the continents, while the other three stand for the Olympic ideals of sport, environment, and culture.
