All About The Olympic Rings

In 7/8 OD we have been learning about what the Olympic rings mean and who designed them. The 5 rings represent the 5 continents of the world Africa, Asia, America, Europe and Australasia but not Antarctica because hardly any people live on Antarctica. A fun fact is that every single country participating in the Olympics has at least 1 color from the Olympic rings. The color of the rings are Blue, Black then Red on the top row and Yellow then Green on the bottom. Baron Pierre De Coubertin the co-founder of the modern Olympics designed the rings in 1912.
