five rings. healthy competition. send snow.

"The emblem chosen to illustrate and represent the world Congress of 1914, five intertwined rings in different colours - blue, yellow, black, green, red - are placed on the white field of the paper. These five rings represent the five parts of the world which now are won over to Olympism and willing to accept healthy competition."

 

-Baron Pierre de Coubertin, founder of the modern Olympic Games

 

Five rings to represent the continents of the world. North and South America (together), Australia, Europe, Africa, and Asia. The rings are interlaced to show the coming together or meeting of the continents at the Olympics.

 

Dear Washington D.C.: Come on. Do you really need three feet of snow right now? Once you've shoveled an air hole to the surface, send those snowstorms to Vancouver. And when they have enough there, we'd love a little more here in the northeast too.
