Problem Statement

A circle cuts each side of a rhombus twice thus dividing each side into three segments. Let us go around the perimeter of the rhombus clockwise beginning at a vertex and paint these segments successively in red, white and blue. Prove that the sum of lengths of the blue segments equals that of the red ones.
