[[File:Olympic_rings_without_rims.svg|thumb|right|The Olympic rings]] The '''Olympic rings''' are the official symbol of the [[Olympic Games]]. The design was created by Baron [[Pierre de Coubertin]] in 1913. The rings were first used at the Olympic Games [[1920 Summer Olympics|Belgium in 1920]]. The 5 colors of the rings are blue, black, red, yellow and green. It's a common misconception that the colors represent specific continents. In fact, the five colors were chosen so that in combination with the white background, they could produce the colors of all national flags worldwide.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Myth buster: Yellow Olympic ring does not represent Asia, neither do the other four|url=https://olympics.com/en/news/which-colour-represents-asia-in-olympic-rings|website=olympics.com}}</ref> ==References== {{Reflist}} ==Other websites== {{commons cat-inline}} {{sports-stub}} [[Category:Olympic symbols]]
