About Olympic Flag

Five equal-width circular rings arranged in two staggered rows on a white background. The top row shows three rings (left to right: blue, black, red) and the bottom row shows two rings (yellow sits between and slightly below the blue and black; green sits between and slightly below the black and red). The rings interlock with an alternating over-under pattern where adjacent rings overlap.

Each ring is a simple flat stroke with no text, gradients or additional ornamentation. The composition is balanced and centered horizontally, forming an iconic linked chain of five colored circles.
