Reading passage 4

Olympic Rings

One of the most recognized symbols of the Olympic games

is the Olympic Rings. The rings were designed by French baron

Pierre de Coubertin. They have been a part of the Olympics since

1916. But the rings are more than just a set of pretty circles. Pierre

de Coubertin designed them intentionally. According to Pierre de

Coubertin, the Olympic Rings were designed to represent the five

inhabited continents of the world that competed in the Olympic

games when the image was designed. Some think that each ring

represents an individual continent. However, that is not true.

Instead, all of the rings are connected. This shows the spirit of the

Olympics. The rings represent bringing together people from

around the world. The six colors that appear in the Olympic Rings

logo serve a similar purpose. They represent the main colors

found on the flags of all of the nations that compete in the

Olympics.
