Who is the designer of the Olympic rings?

The designer of the Olympic rings is Pierre De Coubertin.

Pierre De Coubertin, a famous French educator, international sports activist, educator and historian, was born on January 1, 1863. From 1896 to 1925, Coubertin was the president of the International Olympic Committee. During this period, he designed the Olympic emblem and Olympic flag, and was known as the "father of modern Olympics".

The logo of the five Olympic rings was designed by Coubertin in 1913. It consists of five Olympic rings nested from left to right, with three rings of blue, black and red at the top and two rings of yellow and green at the bottom. It can also be used in monochrome form, and the overall shape is a regular trapezoid with a small bottom.

The symbol of the Olympic rings also symbolizes the gathering of athletes from five continents and the whole world at the Olympic Games. At the same time, it emphasizes that all participating athletes should meet each other in a fair and frank sportsmanship-the blue ring represents Europe, the black ring represents Africa, the red ring represents America, the yellow ring represents Asia and the green ring represents Australia.

Through the interlocking of the five rings, athletes from five continents are linked together. It must be said that the design and significance of the Olympic rings are in perfect harmony with the Olympic spirit. Moreover, as the designer of the Olympic rings and the father of modern Olympics, Coubertin also said many classic sayings:

1. The most important thing in the Olympics is not to win, but to fight.

2. Sports is peace.

3. Participation is more important than winning.

4. The essence of life is not to take, but to struggle!
