Olympic Rings:The Olympic symbol is 5 interlocked rings that represent 5 areas of the world (Europe, Africa, Americas, Asia, Australia) that participate in the Olympics and ParaOlympics. The rings are coloured Red, Black, Blue, Yellow and Green. It is interesting that at least 1 of these colours is on every flag of the countries that compete in the Olympics.

The most important thing is not win but to take part!
The official motto of the Vancouver Olympics is: With Glowing Hearts...
