The five rings represented the five participating continents of the time.

五环代表了当时参加现代奥林匹克运动会的五大洲。

Alexandre Debussy, associate director of Cannes Encheres, said that the design was sold to a Brazilian collector for that sum, adding that France's National Sport Museum made a bid that was not enough to secure its purchase.

戛纳·恩切里斯博物馆副馆长亚历山大·德彪西表示，这幅设计作品最终由一位巴西收藏家拍得。他还表示，法国体育博物馆也参加了这次竞拍，但最终未能拍到这幅作品。

Created in 1913 by Coubertin, the father of the modern Olympics, the design had been given to one of his supporters in Lausanne, and stayed in the same family until it was bought by the collector who put it up for auction on Sunday.

顾拜旦于1913年创作了这一图案，并将其送给了他在洛桑的一名支持者。此后，这幅图样一直被这个家族收藏，直到被一位收藏家买下。这位收藏家7月26日将其拍卖。
