Olympia, Paris 2024

Happy Olympics to our neighbouring country France!

Did you know that the famous Olympic flag first flew in Antwerp (Belgium) in 1920?

Pierre de Coubertin, an important initiator of the modern Olympic Games and the inventor of the flag, once said of its significance: “The flag is white, with five intertwined rings in blue, yellow, black, green and red. These colours symbolise the union of the five continents.” At a time of nationalism and international tensions, Coubertin set an example of global unity and peace with the five rings we are all familiar with today.
