The Olympic rings have been a symbol of professionalism, athleticism, and greatness for over a century. This Ideas project celebrates those rings and the sports that give the rings meaning.

The Celebration of the Olympic Rings set features a display stand displaying the Olympic rings, two small Olympic flame builds, and five vignettes of the only sports to be featured in every modern day Olympic game. The vignettes attach via Lego axle so they can be display in various set ups to allow you to customize the display piece to your liking. The five sports include, gymnastics, fencing, cycling, athletics, and swimming.
