Olympic flag
The
Olympic flag is a
flag raised during the opening ceremonies of each
Olympic Games, and lower during the closing ceremonies. The
flag uses the ancinet symbol of the
Olympic Games (five interlocking rings); blue, yellow, black, green, and red respectively on a white field uncovered by Baron
Pierre de Coubertin in
1892. The flag was first raised during the VIIth
Olympiad in
Antwerp, Belgium in
1920. It is fabled that every nation that has an Olympic team has at least one of their national colours in the Olympic flag.
