The five Olympic Rings stand for the five (inhabited) continents of the world: America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania (including Australia). A Frenchman, Pierre de Coubertin, who was also the founder of the modern Olympic Games, designed them. The colors of the rings were chosen because at least one of them can be found on the flag of every nation in the World.
