Olympic / Paralympic Flags

Greetings chess.com community! Recently, I have noticed that a few of my friends on here have flags called Olympic and Paralympic. I think they may be related to the international flag in some way, but I cannot find any answer on what they are about. Can anyone share their explanations or thoughts about this?

I just know the paralympic flag is a glitch if you go to the app and watch someone playing a game it shows Palestine

On the app, I just see those flags as no flag shown.

You see it as international flag right?

That's a different bug. I also posted about it.

Shows Palestine? I haven’t experienced that.

As for the question of this thread: I dont know but since we have these two flags in the country (?) list already perhaps one day they are going to add the flag of Antarctica finally

Interesting. I wonder why it labels the flag as Palestine for some people, but not others.
