The famous Olympic rings logo is more than 100 years old, but its symbolism is ageless.
When we think of the Olympics, a few things come to mind immediately: the athletes marching in during the opening ceremonies, proudly carrying their country’s flag; the dramatic awarding of gold, silver, and bronze medals to winners of the events, the torch and other memorable Olympic moments; and, of course, the Olympic rings.
The five interlocked Olympic rings have become so familiar at this stage that there’s a good chance we don’t give them much thought. Given what we know about rings symbolizing an ongoing, unbroken commitment—wedding rings, for example—we may assume there’s a similar sentiment behind the Olympic rings, but it’s much more than that. Here’s an inside look at what the Olympic rings symbolize and their history.
