These rings symbolize that the importance of sports is not limited to just sports, but it also symbolizes global support and distinction.

The five rings symbolize the participation of athletes and their design reflects the union of five continents - Africa, Asia, Australia, America and Europe.
Pierre de Coubertin designed the Olympic symbol. He created it by combining five coloured rings with a white background. This design represents the colours of the flags of all countries without exception. Thus, this design of the Olympic rings symbolizes unity and common spirit for everyone around the world, which reveals the unique spirit of the Games.
