What Is Olympic Flag?

Answer Question

3 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    The Olympic flag is one of the Olympic symbols used by the International Olympic Committee. The Olympic flag is one symbol that is used throughout to popularise the event across the world.

    The Olympic flag was designed by Pierre de Coubertin, the father of the modern Olympic Games. The intention behind the design was to memorialize the 20th year of the revival of the Games. For the design of the flag, Coubertin chose a five-ring symbol, each ring symbolising each of the Continents. The colours chosen were white, red, yellow, green, blue and black and the reason for choosing these colours was that at least one of these colours was present in the national flags of each of the countries that participated in the Olympic movement. This design was adopted as the official Olympic Flag in the 1914 Paris Congress of the Olympic Movement.

    The Olympic flag is taken as a symbol of goodwill, peace, tolerance and global solidarity. The Olympic flag is also used to represent independent athletes competing in the Games who are unable to compete under the national flag of their nation.
