The center of gravity is at the center of the O(assuming it's a perfect circle) because a perfect circle has a constant radius, so the object is equidistant to the center. This means that the force of gravity on all aspects are equal. Say if you picked a point on the ring. There will always be another point opposite to that point where the gravity of that point counteracts against the gravity o the ring that you picked.
