1. OLYMPIC RINGS
Significance

2. The five Olympic rings represent the five continents
involved in the Olympics and were designed in 1912,
adopted in June 1914 and debuted at the 1920
Antwerp Olympics.
The symbol of the Olympic Games is composed of five
interlocking rings, coloured blue, yellow, black, green,
and red on a white field. This was originally designed
in 1912 by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of
the modern Olympic Games. Upon its initial
introduction, de Coubertin stated the following in the
August, 1912 edition of Olympique.

3. The Olympic motto is the hendiatris Citius,
Altius, Fortius, which is Latin for "Faster,
Higher, Stronger".
The motto was proposed by Pierre de Coubertin
on the creation of the International Olympic
Committee in 1894. De Coubertin borrowed it
from his friend Henri Didon, a Dominican priest
who, amongst other things, was an athletics
enthusiast. The motto was introduced in 1924 at
the Olympic Games in Paris.
A more informal but well known motto, also
introduced by De Coubertin, is "The most
important thing is not to win but to take part!"
De Coubertin got this motto from a sermon by
the Bishop of Pennsylvania during the 1908
London Games.
