¹     Have you seen the Olympic Rings? The Olympic Rings have been a part of the Olympic Games since 1913. Baron Pierre de Coubertin began the modern Olympics. He chose to put the rings on a flag. The design came from Greece. Each ring stands for a big part of the world. The parts are Africa, Asia, the Americas, Europe, and Australia. Each ring has a color. The colors are blue, yellow, black, green, and red in that order. The colors come from flags around the world.
 
²     The flag was first used in the 1920 Olympic Games. The flag gets passed to each Olympic host city. The host city then hangs it in their town hall. Then it goes to the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games.
