Right across the Rizal monument at the Rizak Park is a replica of the "Dancing Rings" sculpture by Olympic artist, Jose Datuin. The sculpture won 1st Prize in the 2008 International Olympic Committee Sport & Art contest at Lausanne, Switzerland in the celebration of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, besting 35 countries. The winning piece is now permanently housed and exhibited at the International Olympic Committee Museum in Switzerland.
Crafted from stainless steel, the work consists of five rings and ball that is lightly welded on the central ring. According to the artist, the ball represents the World while the interlocking rings denote One Dream. It also suggests the form of dancing human figure, creating an exciting infinite movement.
