Content: The first games put on by the IOC were held in Athens during the summer of 1896. The 1896 Summer Olympics brought together 14 nations and 241 athletes who competed in 43 events. What Is the Meaning of the Olympic Rings? The symbol of the rings, which are interlocked and colored yellow, black, green and red with a white background, were designed by Baron Pierre de Coubertin in 1912. The colors of the rings along with the white background were intended to represent the five participating continents: Africa, Asia, America, Oceania and Europe. They also composed the colors of the flags of all the participating countries at the time. Upon releasing the design, Coubertin said: "The six colors [including the flag's white background] combined in this way reproduce the colors of every country without exception. The blue and yellow of Sweden, the blue and white of Greece, the tricolor flags of France, England, the United States, Germany, Belgium, Italy and Hungary, and the yellow and red of Spain are included, as are the innovative flags of Brazil and Australia, and those of ancient Japan and modern China.
