  • There are only five continents which have any nations: Africa, Australia, Eurasia (which could count as one or two depending on who you ask), North America, South America. I don't think the IOC will count Antarctica until the penguins send an olympic team.

    • According to this Wikipedia article [wikipedia.org] (which is not the same as the one posted in another comment here), one of the rings represents both Americas.

      Either the Americas or Eurasia are getting shortchanged by having two continents represented with only one ring. :) I propose we move to four or six rings to eliminate the confusion. ;)
