Though some sports have changed and been added throughout the years, one constant at the Olympics is the symbolic rings. So, what do these rings represent? Who created this symbol? Keep reading to find out more about the iconic Olympic rings.
Though the first Olympic Games were held in 1896, the symbolic rings were not created until 1913. Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games, drew the symbol by hand at the top of a letter he had written.

"The Olympic symbol (the Olympic rings) expresses the activity of the Olympic Movement and represents the union of the five continents and the meeting of athletes from throughout the world at the Olympic Games,"

The equal-sized rings are interlaced with one another and are five different colors — blue, yellow, black, green, and red — against a white background.

"These five rings represent the five parts of the world now won over to Olympism and ready to accept its fertile rivalries. Moreover, the six colors thus combined reproduce those of all the nations without exception," Coubertin explained in the Olympic Review's August 1913 issue, per the Olympics site.
The five colors and the white background represent the colors of the flags of "all nations at that time," Coubertin wrote.

Though the five different colors don't correspond to a specific continent, the five rings represent parts of the world — Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, and the Americas.
The Olympic rings represent unity of the world.
If you look at the Olympic rings, you'll see that each circle is equal in size and dimension. The interlocking of the rings is representative of a unified world.

The rings represent not only the world coming together to compete, but the Olympic athletes as well.

Olympic athletes are expected to embody the three values of Olympism: excellence, friendship, and respect. "They constitute the foundation on which the Olympic Movement builds its activities to promote sport, culture and education with a view to building a better world," the Olympic website states.

The Olympic Movement aims to "contribute to building a peaceful and better world by educating youth through sport practiced without discrimination of any kind and in the Olympic spirit, which requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity, and fair play."

What are the colors of the Olympic rings? Traditionally, they appear in five different colors on a white background (though they can also be displayed individually or as a singular color). The colors of the Olympic rings from left to right are blue, yellow, black, green and red.

Why are the Olympic rings linked? Each of the Olympic rings is equal in dimension. In formation, they’re interlaced with one another, with three rings on top and two on the bottom. The connection of the rings was designed to embody a unified world. Not only do they represent the union of continents but the meeting of athletes from around the world at the Olympic Games.

They also signify a bond created by the shared goals of Olympism, which are highlighted in the Olympic Charter. The three core values of Olympism are excellence, friendship and respect. Olympism promotes the fitness of mind and body, teamwork and care for humanity. It proclaims the right for all types of people to participate in the Games — and live — without discrimination. Olympic activities are designed to foster sport, culture and education with an eye toward building a better world.
You may be wondering, what color represents each continent in the Olympic rings? Many people mistakenly think that the Olympic rings’ colors represent individual continents, but Coubertin’s idea was that when combined, the six colors in the Olympic rings (including the white background) would represent all the national flags of the countries that participated in the 1912 Olympic Games in Stockholm and, ultimately, to “reproduce those of all the nations without exception."
