The Olympic Rings

The five basic colours blue, black, red, yellow, and green are boring just like the  five basic shapes that look just like circles, however the countries that these colours symbolize is a different story.Which are the Africa's, America's, Asia's, Australia, and last but not least the Europe.

"What is the reason for the rings interlocking. You say? well let me tell you about it."  When the rings are locked together it’s a sign that means that the countries join in one place and battle it all out in the Olympics in order to win the medals Gold, Silver, or Bronze for their country.

Why are the Olympic rings circles.? I always seem to ask myself that question, until now when I went and searched all over the net and found out that the reason why they are the shapes of circles is because five continents join their hands together and play against each other.

In 1914 Baron Pierre De Coubertin was the founder and designer of the rings that represent the Olympics today, he was also the one who discovered the countries that the rings symbolize in the Olympics and he did the same thing with the 20th anniversary.

I think the reason for the choosing of those colours was because in 1984 there was a guy called Robert Barney who discovered that in ancient times they used circles and the colours that we use now.
