They are connected to symbolize the sports friendship amongst all the people in the world. 2) The rings are fi ve interlocking rings, coloured blue, yellow, black, green, and red on a white fi eld, known as the “Olympic rings”. The symbol was originally designed in 1912 by de Coubertin. He appears to have intended the rings to represent the fi ve continents: Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania, and America. According to Coubertin, the colours of the rings together with the white of the background included the colours composing every competing nation’s fl ag at the time. http://eduportal.uz 75 3) The Olympics Motto – Citius, Altius, Fortius. A friend of Baron Pierre de Coubertin, Father Henri Martin Didon of the Dominican order, was the principal of Arcueil College, near Paris. An energetic teacher, he used the discipline of sport as a powerful educational tool. One day, following an inter-school athletics meeting, Didon ended his speech quoting three Latin words: Citius, Altius, Fortius (Faster, Higher, Stronger). Struck by the succinctness of this phrase, Baron Pierre de Coubertin made it the Olympic motto, pointing out that “Athletes need ‘freedom of excess.’ That is why we gave them this motto ... a motto for people who dare to try to break records.” 4) The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part. 5) The International Olympic Committee. The IOC is the organisation that governs the games. It decides which sports and events are held at the games. The IOC also selects the host city for the summer and winter games, at least seven years before they take place. Cities that want the games must show that they have enough stadiums for all events.
