Olympic flag with five rings was first hoisted in which year?

The iconic Olympic flag, featuring five interlocking rings, was designed by Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games, in 1913. The five rings symbolize the five inhabited continents united by Olympism, with their colors (blue, yellow, black, green, and red on a white field) representing that at least one of these colors is present in every nation's flag. The flag was officially presented and first hoisted in 1914 at the Congress of Paris, celebrating the 20th anniversary of the International Olympic Committee. Its debut at the actual Olympic Games, however, was delayed until the 1920 Antwerp Games due to the outbreak of World War I. The years 1906, 1908, and 1912 predate the flag's creation and initial display.
