Olympic
flag
The
Olympic flag is a
flag
raised during the opening ceremonies of each
Olympic
Games, and lower during the closing ceremonies. The
flag
uses the ancinet symbol of the
Olympic
Games (five interlocking rings); blue, yellow, black, green, and red respectively
on a white field uncovered by Baron
Pierre
de Coubertin in
1892. The
flag was first raised during the VIIth
Olympiad
in
Antwerp, Belgium
in
1920. It is fabled that every
nation that has an Olympic team has at least one of their national colours in
the Olympic flag.
