The Olympic Games have their own flag and motto. The flag is
white with five circles. The circles represent the five continents of Africa,
Asia, Australia, Europe and North and South America. The circles are black,
blue, green, red and yellow. The flag of every country in the games has at
least one of these colours. The motto of the Olympics is 'Faster, higher,
stronger'.
The most exciting moment of the opening ceremony is the
lighting of the Olympic Flame, another symbol of the Olympic Games. Runners
bring a torch from the valley of Olympia in Greece. Thousands of runners take
part in the journey. The journey starts four weeks before the opening of the
Games. At the opening ceremony, the final runner carries the torch to the
stadium, and lights the new Olympic Flame. Then there is a very big song, dance
and music show. The Olympic Flame burns until the end of the Games.
The International Olympic Committee works hard between the
Games. They choose the place for the next Olympics and new sports for them too.
