Do you know what the 5 rings on the Olympic Flag represent ?. Well the rings were introduced by Pierre de Coubertin. It was first presented in, 1914, at the Paris, Congress. Pierre de Coubertin is said to have found the original five rings symbol engraved on an stone unearthed at Delphi.
Delphi is in Greece and is one of the most sacred places in the ancient world. Placed in the breathtaking surroundings by the false Mt. Parnassus it is still an enchanting site. The ancient Greek believed that Delphi was the centre of the world and was told the future of kings and common men.

Hey Hainite,
I totally love your story about the Olympic Flag. I liked how you talked about where the flag came from and how Pierre de Coubertin introduced the Olympic rings.
