Neither a color nor a ring represents a specific continent. There are five rings because there are five continents that send competitors to the Olympics (North and South America are combined as one and Antarctica is left out because no native people live there). The different ring colors (red, green, blue, yellow, black) along with the white background represent the colors appearing on all nations flags.
The six color's [including the flag's white background] thus combined reproduce the color's of all the nations, with no exception. The blue and yellow of Sweden, the blue and white of Greece, the tri- colours of France, England and America, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Hungary, the yellow and red of Spain next to the novelties of Brazil or Australia, with old Japan and new China. Here is truly an international symbol.
