Summer Olympics

August 2016, time for the Summer Olympics in Rio!!!

Did you know why the Olympic flag is a white background with five interlaced rings in the center?

(Blue, Black, Red, Yellow and Green)

Blue is for Australia, because it's surrounded by water.

Black is for Europe, because it's in the center and that's where the Olympic Games started.

Red is for Asia, because Chinese lucky color is red.

Yellow is for Africa, because of Sahara desert.

Green is for America, because we have a lot of National Parks. 

This design is symbolic: it represents the five continents of the world united by olympism. While the six colors are those that appear on all the national flags of the world at this time.
