The Olympic Games, or Olympics, are an international multi-sport event taking place every four years which comprises of summer and winter games. Though the first ancient games were held in 776 B.C, the modern games started from 1896. The unity of the 5 continents is shown on the Olympic flag by five colorful intertwined rings of red, blue, green, yellow, and black, created by Baron Pierre de Coubertin to represent at least one color of the participating country’s national flag.
Lynette Bell was born on January 24, 1947, and was an Australian freestyle swimmer of the 1960s, who won the silver medal in the 4 by 100 meters freestyle relay at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics.

Making her debut in the 1962 Commonwealth Games in Perth, Bell was part of the winning 4 by 110 yard freestyle relay team, and placed 4th in the corresponding individual event.
