The Olympic rings consist of five interlocking rings, coloured blue, yellow, black, green, and red on a white field. The symbol was originally created in 1913 by Coubertin. The colors of the rings were later said to be representations of individual continents, but according to Coubertin, the colors of the rings, along with the white background, represented the colors of every competing country's flag at the time.

 


INTRODUCTION

A representative of each region was asked to propose a new sport for the Olympics. Black is Africa.

The representative from Africa was a big fan of Paris Dakar. He suggested to rally should be added to the list of Olympic Sports. He gave me a suggestion of the routes that he believed would be interesting. It would be if we get a pick up a cache in each country.

  • Côte d'Ivoire, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, The Gambia, Senegal, Mauritania
