Olympic Rings - 07-12-04

This has been bugging me for a while now...

The Olympic rings, five interconnecting rings symbolising the five continents participating in the olympics (the official line on the subject).

Now correct me if I'm wrong but there are seven continents:
Africa
Asia
Australia
Europe
North America
South America
Antartica

Understandibally Antartica doesn't have a team but which other one is left out?

North and South America are represented as just one continent.

Work is of two kinds: first, altering the position of matter at or near the earth's surface relatively to other such matter; second, telling other people to do so.

Yeah, and then just for trivia's sake, the colors have something to do with the fact that at least one of them is in the flag of every country, correct?
