The Olympic Symbol consists of five intertwined rings and represents the unity of five inhabited continents (America, Asia, Africa, Europe and
Australasia). The coloured version of the rings Ȃ Blue, Yellow, Black, Green and Red Ȃ over a white field forms the Olympic flag. The flag was adopted in
1914 but flown for the first time only at 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp, Belgium.
The Olympic Motto is ǲCitius, Altius, Fortiusǳ a latin expression meaning ǲFaster, Higher, Stronger. The Olympic mascot, an animal or a human figure
representing the Cultural heritage of host country was introduced in 1968. In the opening ceremony parade, Greece is the first country to enter the ring
in order to honour the origins of Olympics. Nations then enter the stadium alphabetically according to host countryǯs chosen language, with the host
countryǯs athletes entering last.

thrice.
The first Olympic athlete to test positive for performance-enhancing drugs was Hans-Gunnar Lijenwall, a Swedish athlete at 1968 Summer Olympics
at Mexico City.
Olympic games are held every two years, with Summer and Winter games alternating one after the another. So, actually Summer Olympics are held

held in 2010 in Vancouver (Canada).

medals in Olympic.

Olympics.

India first participated in Olympics in 1900, with a lone athlete (Norman Pritchard) winning two silver medals in athletics (200m race and 200m
