Yes. The venus trace is really pretty.
I can't remember where I read it recently,, or the exact wording but, also:
Taking the gods and angels to mean the zodiac... then simply describing the northern star's path in the sky, it rhymes with the Lucifer myth in Catholicism.

So, to sum this up:
The use of the pentacle at the winter games has both ties to Greece (the originator of the Olymipcs who described Venus as the light-bringer 'Phosphoros') and Rome's depiction of the torch wielding Lucifer.
The pentacle is also popular symbolgy in tarot, the precursor to today's traditional card games, which was vilified by early European Christian churches.
...So the pentacle has historic ties to Greek and Roman culture and has associated with games for ages.
The use of the torch at the Olympics fits in really nicely. Setting the pentacle on fire with a torch was very well done.
Still... they inverted the pentacle. Which is interesting. I don't know where the inverted pentacle was first seen being used, but in the 1800s it took on its own meaning:
From AI:
The earliest known descriptions of the reversed pentacle (inverted pentagram) as a symbol of opposition or inversion come from 19th-century occult writings, particularly those of Eliphas Lévi, a French occultist. In his 1854 work Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie, Lévi explicitly stated that an inverted pentagram—pointing downward—symbolized the "triumph of matter over spirit" and was associated with evil, representing a reversal of the natural cosmic order. He described it as a sign of "the goat of lust attacking the heavens with its horns," linking it to demonic forces.
...I still think this may be a purposeful nod to a modern anti-christian globalist view. It's definitely Satanic.
But of course, Satan is a really a bastardized characterization of Lucifer.
So, to not include Satan in the modern context ignores the importance of our current state.
In this regard, the artwork was complete, scary red flames and all.

You are right Symbolism changes - it means something particular to someone.. without reading occult books it's hard to see a Pentagram ~ man and hexagram ~ gods,
The fifth element film gets it right - the 4 platonic elements + soul. A star looks like a man. An inverted star looks like a "hanged man^
