Olympic Flag

The Olympic Flag is a flag that is the official sign of the Olympic Games. The five rings that are  on  the flag’s white background representing peace and purity, are in fact, representative of a ring for each main continent, and every continent that has to offer willing competitors in the Olympic Games.

However, many other historians and ancient greeks see the rings on the flag (which are blue, black, red, yellow and green) as representatives of the ancient Greek tales, and myths where the Olympics originated from. Legend tells that there were five siblings, three girls, and two boys, each of them were born and raised on a mountain (Mount Olympiad) and were trained and brought up with essential and basic skills to survive in the troublesome world that had been waiting for them along their life journeys. But the main and most known view of the rings are related to the continental fact, another factor of the rings is that each colour in the flag is in (at least) every nations flag that is competing,

The flag is hoisted up the pole at every Olympic Games every four years, and isn’t taken down until the games come to an end, handing it over to the leader of the next country, or venue that is hosting the next Olympic Games.

Through history, millions of flags have been taken up, down and have been shown off to the world, but every four years, one flag is able to unite every single person standing and who exists in this world, and that flag, is the grand Olympic Flag.
