The five interlocking rings on the Olympic symbol represent the five inhabited continents. What is the primary reason the specific colors (blue, yellow, black, green, and red on a white background) were chosen?

💡 Explanation:

Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games, designed the Olympic symbol in 1913. He stated that the six colors (including the white background) were chosen because 'at least one of these six colours could be found in the flag of every nation in the world at that time.'
