1) The five Olympic circles represent the five continents: Africa, North and South
America, Asia and Australia. They are connected to symbolize the sports friendship
amongst all the people in the world.
2) The rings are five interlocking rings, coloured blue, yellow, black, green, and red on
a white field, known as the “Olympic rings”. The symbol was originally designed in
1912 by de Coubertin. He appears to have intended the rings to represent the five
continents: Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania, and America. According to Coubertin, the
colours of the rings together with the white of the background included the colours
composing every competing nation’s flag at the time
3) The Olympics Motto – Citius, Altius, Fortius.
A friend of Baron Pierre de Coubertin, Father Henri Martin Didon of the
Dominican order, was the principal of Arcueil College, near Paris. An energetic
teacher, he used the discipline of sport as a powerful educational tool. One day,
following an inter-school athletics meeting, Didon ended his speech quoting
three Latin words: Citius, Altius, Fortius (Faster, Higher, Stronger). Struck by
the succinctness of this phrase, Baron Pierre de Coubertin made it the Olympic
motto, pointing out that “Athletes need ‘freedom of excess.’ That is why we gave
them this motto ... a motto for people who dare to try to break records.”
4) The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part.
5) The International Olympic Committee. The IOC is the organisation that governs the
games. It decides which sports and events are held at the games. The IOC also selects
the host city for the summer and winter games, at least seven years before they take
place. Cities that want the games must show that they have enough stadiums for all
events.
