The Olympic flag:

  • The six colours of the flag (including the white background) represent all the nations in the world.
  • The flag was designed in 1913 by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, founder of the modern Olympic Games, who stated “the five rings represent the five parts of the world which now are won over to Olympism and willing to accept healthy competition.”

  • The First World War prevented the 1916 Games from being held in Berlin as planned, so the flag was first flown above an Olympic Games stadium in 1920, in Antwerp, Belgium.
  • Replica flags are raised in the Olympic host city/cities, as well as the provincial and national capital cities.

  • The modern Olympic flag is now flying outside Vancouver city hall, the legislature in Victoria and the 2010 Winter Games Information Centre in Whistler.
  • At the Olympic Games, the flag is brought into the stadium during the opening ceremony and flies there during the whole Games; when it is lowered during the closing ceremony, it signals the end of the Games as the mayor of the host city passes the Olympic flag to the mayor of the next host city.

The Paralympic flag:

  • Tae-Geuks were first used in the logo for sports for athletes with a disability at the 1998 Summer Paralympic Games in Seoul, South Korea. This logo consisted of five Tae-Geuks that were similar, in colour and configuration, to the Olympic Rings, and was officially adopted when the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) was created in 1989.
  • In 1991, the IPC changed its logo to a symbol of three Tae-Geuks, representing the Paralympic Motto: Mind, Body, and Spirit.
  • In 2003, the logo was again changed to what it is today; the three elements in red, blue and green represent the colours most widely represented in national flags around the world. The three Agitos (from the Latin meaning “I move”) encircling a centre point on the flag emphasize the role that the IPC has of bringing athletes from all corners of the world together to compete. They also symbolize the inspiration and excitement that Paralympic athletes offer the world through their performances.

this is not so important.but..i<didnt know this..

all the infos are from the internet;--)

Bob Costas, during a feature on Natalie du Toit, referred to the Paralympics as the Para-Olympics which , if you think about it, could be because he's just spent over a week saying the word Olympics hundreds of times a day.

Or it could be because he really thinks the Paralympics are called that.

I have an idea how to fix all of this. Let's break the word down in disability terms.

Para as in paraplegic

Lymp as in limp

Ics as in prosthet"ics".

Whereas Para-O -lympics sounds like cheerleaders running around, shouting "give me an O". Reminiscent of CheeriOs. It just doesn't work.

This could be the first controversy of the Paralympics.
