What do the five rings of the Olympic symbol represent, and why were they chosen?

Transcript

The five rings of the Olympic symbol represent the unity of the five inhabited continents: Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania, and the Americas, reflecting the gathering of athletes from around the world at the Olympic Games. Designed by Pierre de Coubertin in 1912, the colors blue, yellow, black, green, and red were chosen because they appeared on the flags of all nations at that time, symbolizing inclusivity and international unity.
