Pierre De Coubertin, a famous French educator, international sports activist, educator and historian, was born in 1863 65438+ 10/0, 1 896-1925. Coubertin is the president of the International Olympic Committee. During this period, he designed the Olympic emblem and the Olympic flag.

The logo of the Olympic rings was designed by Coubertin in 19 13. It consists of five Olympic rings nested from left to right, with blue, black and red rings at the top and yellow and green rings at the bottom. Can also be used in monochrome form, the overall shape is a regular trapezoid, and the bottom is small.

The symbol of the Olympic rings also symbolizes that athletes from five continents and all over the world gather together to participate in the Olympic Games. At the same time, it is emphasized that all participating athletes should meet each other in a fair and frank sportsmanship-the blue ring represents Europe, the black ring represents Africa, the red ring represents America, the yellow ring represents Asia and the green ring represents Australia.

Through the interlocking of the five rings, athletes from five continents are linked together. It must be said that the design and significance of the Olympic rings are completely consistent with the Olympic spirit. Moreover, as the designer of the Olympic rings and the father of modern Olympics, Coubertin also said many classic sayings:

1, the most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win, but to struggle.

2. Sports is peace.

3. Participation is more important than victory.

4. The essence of life is not to take, but to struggle!
