The Olympic flag symbolizes the unity of the five continents and the coming together of athletes from all over the world to compete in the Olympic Games. The five interlocking rings represent the five continents of the world (Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania, and the Americas) coming together in the spirit of friendship, solidarity, and fair play. The colors of the rings (blue, yellow, black, green, and red) were chosen because every nation's flag contains at least one of these colors.
