Afterwards some people explained that, IOC used atfirst blue, black, is red, yellow, the green took five links thecolors were because it could represent participates in the IOC allcountries national flag at that time the color. The 7th session ofOlympic Games got up from 1920, five links five kind of colorssymbolized the five continents: The blue color represents Europe,black Italy refers to Africa, red symbolizes the Americas, the yellowsymbolizes Asia, but the green explains makes Australia. In 1973 theIOC published conference proceeding "the Olympics Forum" emphasizedthat, "The conference symbol and the meeting pennant five linksmeaning is symbolizing five continents' unity, world athlete by fair,frank competition and friendly spirit, meets at the Olympic Games."奥运会五环旗是在顾拜旦主持下制定的。五环分别为蓝、黑、红、黄、绿色,三环在上,两环在下,环环相扣,紧紧联在一起。按照顾拜旦对此的解释,五环“象征世界上承认奥林匹克运动、并准备参加奥林匹克竞赛的五大洲,而第六种颜色白色——旗帜的底色,意指所有国家都毫无例外地能在自己国家的旗帜下参加比赛”。 后来有的人解释说,国际奥委会最初采用蓝、黑、红、黄、绿色作为五环的颜色是因为它能代表当时参加国际奥委会所有国家国旗的颜色。自1920年第7届奥运会起,五环的五种颜色象征五大洲:蓝色代表欧洲,黑色意指非洲,红色象征美洲,黄色标志着亚洲,而绿色喻作澳洲。 1973年国际奥委会会刊《奥林匹克论坛》则强调:“会徽和会旗的五环含义是象征着五大洲的团结,全世界的运动员以公正、坦率的比赛和友好的精神,在奥运会上相见。”2.The flag features the emblem of the Olympic Games — five interlocking rings (blue, yellow, black, green, and red respectively) on a white field. This was originally designed in 1913 by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games, but gained widespread popularity due to its promotion by Nazi Germany [1]. Upon its initial introduction, de Coubertin stated the following in the August, 1913 edition of Revue Olympique: The emblem chosen to illustrate and represent the world Congress of 1914 ...: five intertwined rings in different colours - blue, yellow, black, green, red - are placed on the white field of the paper. These five rings represent the five parts of the world which now are won over to Olympism and willing to accept healthy competition. In his article published in the "Olympic Revue" the official magazine of the International Olympic Committee in November 1992, the American historian Robert Barney explains that the idea of the interlaced rings came to Pierre of Coubertin when he was in charge of the USFSA ( Unión des Societes Française de Sports Athletiques): The emblem of the union was two interlaced rings (like the typical interlaced marriage rings) and originally the idea of Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung because for him the ring meant continuity and the human being. [2] “ The Olympic flag [...] has a white background, with five interlaced rings in the centre : blue, yellow, black, green and red [...] This design is symbolic ; it represents the five continents of the world, united by Olympism, while the six colours are those that appear on all the national flags of the world at the present time. ” (1931) Textes choisis II, p.470. The 1914 Congress had to be suspended due to the outbreak of World War I, but the flag and emblem were later adopted. They would first officially debut at the VIIth Olympiad in Antwerp, Belgium in 1920. The emblem's popularity and widespread use began during the lead-up to the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin. Carl Diem, president of the Organizing Committee of the 1936 Summer Olympics, wanted to hold a torchbearers' ceremony in the stadium at Delphi, site of the famous oracle, where the Pythian Games were also held. For this reason he ordered construction of a milestone with the Olympic rings carved in the sides, and that a torchbearer should carry the flame along with an escort of three others from there to Berlin. The ceremony was celebrated but the stone was never removed. Later, two British authors Lynn and Gray Poole when visiting Delphi in the late 1950´s saw the stone and reported in their "History of the Ancient Games" that the Olympic rings design came from ancient Greece. This has become known as "Carl Diem's Stone". [3] [4]. This created a myth that the symbol had an ancient Greek origin. The rings would subsequently be featured prominently in Nazi images and theatrics in 1936 as part of an effort to glorify the Third Reich and claim a noble and ancient lineage. The current view of the International Olympic Committee is that the flag "reinforces the idea" that the Olympic Movement is international and welcomes all countries of the world to join. [5] Some literature, such as "The World Encyclopedia of Flags" by Alfred Znamierowski, state that each ring represent the five continents. Using this scheme, the Americas are viewed as a single continent, and Antarctica is omitted. As can be read in the Olympic Charter, the Olympic symbol represents the union of the five continents and the meeting of athletes from throughout the world at the Olympic Games. However, no continent is represented by any specific ring. Though colourful explanations about the symbolism of the coloured rings exist, the only connection between the rings and the continents is that the number five refers to the number of continents.
