Olympic Games - What do the Olympic Rings stand for?


This is the symbol used on the Olympic flag  for every Olympic Games. 
The five circles represent the 5 continents of the world:
* Europe
* North and South America
*Asia
*Oceania  (Australasia)
*Africa
and the meeting of athletes from throughout the world.

These five colours were chosen because every country competing has at least one of these colours on their flag.
