Other sites:
Each NOC adopts an emblem, and presumably adopts a flag as well. The website of the IOC lists all NOCs, including their emblems. Below descriptions of a few known NOC flags are given. In general, NOCs will probably form their flag by placing their emblem on an Olympic white background.
NOCs are all members of the Association of National Olympic Committees
(ANOC), which was established in June 1979 and is also split among five
continental associations:
- Association of National Olympic Committees of Africa (black ring)
- Pan American Sports Organization (red ring)
- Olympic Council of Asia (yellow ring)
- European Olympic Committees (green ring)
- Oceania National Olympic Committees (red ring)

The logo features each regional Olympic Committee
association/federation's logo inside a ring, as seen
here.

Association of National Olympic Committees of Africa logo is shown at
Wikipedia and at
official website;
direct link:
http://www.africaolympic.org/Anoca-logo.gif. Sadly, I could not find a flag.
According to
National Olympic Committee Wikipedia page, Africa is rather blue,
black being Asia. (And yellow the Americas, red for Oceania, and green
for Europe.)
Anyway, it would be interesting, vexillologically, if these five colors
were used on the flags of the continental or national associations.

Alas, if falls unto my lot to point out the
blog, where the
image occurs, showing they do use it on a flag.
(Oh, and then ANOC president, Mario Vázquez Raña,
is in the picture too.
Peter Hans van den Muijzenberg, 19 April 2012
The organization's
flag is shown on their website white with logo and acronyms in
black below. No large image of the logo is available.

The lower edges seem to confirm "ACNO" being used at the bottom of the flag.
Peter Hans van den Muijzenberg, 22 April 2012
There is a former version of ANOC/ACNO flag:

Please note that there are previous emblems of EOC, ANCOA and ONOC (in
blue, black and green rings).

image by H B, 12 May 2012
I am sending you also a picture of Putin standing by what seems to be an
Olympic flag. I did some search but coud not find it at the International
Olypmic Commmitte webpages or among the Russian sports flags.
H B, 12 May 2012
This is flag of Association of National Olympic Committees (ANOC) behind the
President. It is not a Russian related Olympic flag.
