The Olympic Symbols Flag and Rings Baron Pierre de Coubertin , the founder of the Modern Olympics, designed the flag around 1913. The borderless flag displays five interlocking rings in the center on a plain white background. Each ring is a different color of blue, black, red, yellow, and green. It is thought these colors were chosen because at least one color can be found in the flag of every nation on the planet. A different ring represents the continents of Africa, the Americas, Asia, Australia, and Europe. The Olympic Flag was first used at the 1920 Games in Antwerp, Belgium. After the games are completed, the mayor of the host city presents the mayor of the future host city the symbolic flag. The item then remains at the town hall of the future host city for four years until the Opening Ceremony of the next Olympic Games. Oath At the beginning of each Olympics, every athlete promises to play fairly and obey all of the Olympic rules. One athlete from the host country takes the oath at the Opening Ceremonies on behalf of all the athletes. The athlete that is chosen holds a corner of the Olympic Flag while repeating the oath. The oath is as follows: "In the name of all competitors, I promise that we shall take

Olympic Factsheets History of the Modern Olympics The revival of the Modern Olympics was the brain child of the Frenchman, Baron Pierre de Coubertin. He believed that international competitions between amateur athletes would help promote friendly relationships between people from different countries. Despite strong opposition in 1894 de Coubertin assembled 79 delegates from 12 countries to attend the international congress for the re-establishment of the Olympic Games. It was decided to hold the first modern Olympics in Athens in two years time. The Athens Games of 1896 were a great success. The Olympics had returned to the land of their birth. On April 5th the Games were opened by King George of Greece, in front of a crowd of 60000. The first competition of the Modern Olympics was the first heat of the 100m which was won by Francis Lane (USA), in a time of 12.5 sec. American James Connolly was the first winner when he won the triple jump with a jump of 13.71 metres. Australia's lone representative, Edwin Flack, a 23 year old accountant working in the United Kingdom, became not only our first Olympian but our first winner. Flack won the 800 and 1500 metres track events. He was also competed in the marathon until fatigue forced him to withdraw around the 37 kilometre mark, and in the singles and doubles tennis events, losing in the first round. The original Olympic medals were silver and only awarded to the winner of an event.

Science Watch Science Lab Meet the Experts Careers SEED Journal Teacher's Corner About the Science Center Contact SEED SEED Home ... Connectivity Grant Program The 2002 Olympic Games The Torch Relay The history of the Olympic Flame dates back to ancient times in Greece, where a sacred Flame burned on the altar of the Goddess of Hera from the beginning of the Olympic games through to the closing ceremonies. The Flame signified purity, reason and peace among nations. A temporary truce between fighting cities was in place during the games as warriors traded their armor for athletics. 2002 Olympic Torch The Olympic Flame first became a tradition of the modern Olympic Games in Amsterdam when a Flame was lit and remained burning for the duration of the 1928 Games. The lighting of the Flame captured people's imagination and has remained a tradition of the opening ceremonies ever since. In Berlin, in 1936 the first Torch Relay from Olympia crossed 7 countries in 12 days covering 3,000 km (1,800 miles). Since then, the tradition of the Torch Relay has remained a prelude to the Olympic Games, becoming one of the most enduring symbols of the modern Olympics. The Torch Relay is a fascinating blend of symbolism and tradition.

High Tech Gear Crucial to the Modern Olympics By Julie Moffett Washington, July 16 (RFE/RL) - The 1996 Summer Olympics are set to be the most technologically sophisticated Games yet, so move over muscle, here comes the microchip. Human strength, stamina and speed are no longer the only attributes coveted by Olympic athletes. Today¹s Olympic buzzwords are "Teflon-coated microfiber suits," "infrared cells," and "sound-wave-measuring microphones." This summer, U.S. cyclists will ride $1 million computer-designed "superbikes" that were tested for speed and durability in specially-made wind tunnels. The U.S. sailing team will use a satellite-navigation system to map ocean currents. Marathon runners will have microchips attached to their shoelaces to precisely measure their split times. Technology has clearly become an integral part of the Olympic Games. Since the difference between a gold and silver medal in many events can be a fraction of a second, any edge technology can provide is much coveted by athletes. For example, at the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, the difference between the gold and silver medal in sprints was about two-tenths of a second. It seems as if technology is creating a revolution in just about every Olympic sport. Swimmers use new electronic starting blocks that can sense the exact moment a swimmer's feet leave the pad. Using this technology, they can determine if they are taking too long to leave the block, adding milliseconds to their times.

Safe Shopping The modern Olympics "The most important thing in the Olympics is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph as the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well." - Baron de Coubertin. Perhaps no other statement symbolizes the spirit of the Modern Olympics as that one made by Frenchman Pierre Fredy, the Baron de Coubertin. He is also known as the Father of Modern Olympics and deservedly so, for it was his vision that saw the formation of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) that led to the staging of the first edition of the Modern Games in Athens in 1896. The IOC was established as an independent, international, sovereign organization that was assured of continuity. It had arbitrary powers and was the supreme power in the Olympic Movement. The membership of the IOC has increased from 15 in 1894 to 93 today. However, the IOC was not the sole reason for the revival of the Games. The spirit of the Games was released, so to peak, when excavators and archaeologists unveiled the ruins of Olympia. Since then, efforts were made from 1859 to 1892 to stage the Games but without success. At this point, Coubertin entered the scene and his persistence saw the IOC overcome the several organizational, technical and diplomatic difficulties and stage the first of the Modern Olympics in 1896. Coubertin was also the designer of the Olympic flag: an emblem of five interlaced rings of different colours (symbolizing the five continents) on a white background.
