      Summary: We prove several results regarding edge-colored complete graphs and rainbow cycles, cycles with no color appearing on more than one edge. We settle a question posed by Ball, Pultr and Vojtěchovský by showing that if such a coloring does not contain a rainbow cycle of length \(n\), where \(n\) is odd, then it also does not contain a rainbow cycle of length \(m\) for all \(m\) greater than \(2n^2\). In addition, we present two examples which demonstrate that a similar result does not hold for even \(n\). Finally, we state several open problems in the area.
