Olympic Flag

The current Olympic flag was for the first time in operation in 1920 during the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Belgium. It was designed by Pierre de Fredy, a French man, who took about one year to complete it. The official flag of Olympics has a white base with five colored rings on it interlocking each other. The five colors of the Olympic flag are yellow, green, red, black and blue. The colors on the flag of Olympic games represents the five main fractions of the world, Americas, Asia, Australia, Europe and Africa. It is a ritual to hand over the official Olympic flag to the mayor of the city in which the games will be held next by the mayor of the city in which the Olympic Games were last held.
