- The Olympics are a fan-favorite TP run once a year, whereupon a temporary truce is declared between the Autobots and the Decepticons so that their members can participate in sporting events without the threat of being killed. The Olympics are usually hosted by a neutral third party, and clashes with their host are not unheard of. There is often a side-event that runs throughout the Olympics. The TP usually lasts 2+ weeks.
- The Olympics is a brand of widely popular stupid cameras produced by Mt. Olympus Film Co. They are responsible for the most popular camera in the World, the 102mm digital Lake Placid. The president and CEO of the company is terribly sensitive to criticism of his projects, and has been known to smite people with a lightning bolt if they speak ill of his cameras.
- The Olympics were a series of sporting events held on a regular basis in ancient Greece. Both men and women could compete. They were founded by Hercules who intended them to stop the war between the Spartans and Eleans by showing the soldiers they could compete without battle. The first Olympics consisted of 5 events including Running, Jumping, Javelin Throwing, Discus Throwing and Boxing. Atalanta won the very first Olympic event by throwing a javelin farther than anyone else. At the first Olympics, the prizes were olive wreaths made by Salmoneus. It was also Salmoneus who came up with the name of the event and who created the symbol of the Olympic Torch (HTLJ: "Let the Games Begin").
- The acrimony that developed between John McCain and Mitt Romney cannot be blamed simply on the heated primary campaign for the 2008 GOP presidential nomination — the two Republicans were at odds years ago over the 2002 Olympics. Romney took over operation of the then financially strapped Olympics in Salt Lake City in February 1999, and set out to enlist new corporate sponsors and fix a large budget shortfall.

| abstract | - The Olympics is a brand of widely popular stupid cameras produced by Mt. Olympus Film Co. They are responsible for the most popular camera in the World, the 102mm digital Lake Placid. The president and CEO of the company is terribly sensitive to criticism of his projects, and has been known to smite people with a lightning bolt if they speak ill of his cameras. The brand is otherwise known as the Olympic Games, The Contests, or The 4 Months of Sweat and Bother that No One Dares Abolish since it was created in Greece and it is a Greek Tradition. Everyone knows that the Greeks would get angry if we were to get rid of it. And when they are angry and close to sharp (or even blunt) objects, they get very violent, in case you hadn't noticed from their literature.

- The acrimony that developed between John McCain and Mitt Romney cannot be blamed simply on the heated primary campaign for the 2008 GOP presidential nomination — the two Republicans were at odds years ago over the 2002 Olympics. Romney took over operation of the then financially strapped Olympics in Salt Lake City in February 1999, and set out to enlist new corporate sponsors and fix a large budget shortfall. Then in September 2000, John McCain spoke on the Senate floor against what he called the “staggering” cost the federal government faced in helping stage the Games. “The American taxpayer is being shaken down to the tune of nearly a billion and a half dollars,” John McCain declared. He vowed to “do everything in my power” to delay or kill “this pork-barrel spending,” the Los Angeles Times reported. Romney responded by arguing that taxpayers would need to provide only $250 million, and said he was “quite confident” the Games would receive the funding they needed. In early 2001, McCain sought to shift $30 million from the Treasury Department, earmarked for law enforcement personnel at the Olympics, to the Pentagon, but the measure was defeated. Romney, in his 2004 book “Turnaround,” wrote that McCain and others in the Senate were threatening to revoke the tax deductibility of corporate sponsorship, which would “nail the coffin of the Salt Lake Olympics and future Games.” The clash over Olympics spending, “which dragged on for two years, helps explain some of the acrimony that now characterizes the race between the two front-runners for the Republican presidential nomination,” the Times observed. In the end, the federal tab — not including construction or improvement of highways, transit systems, and other infrastructure — totaled about $400 million, and the Games were a financial success.

The Desperate cities also build Olympic villages which are then converted to houses for the homeless or barracks for future armies.

(DS9: "Take Me Out to the Holosuite") In lines cut from the "Code of Honor" , Lieutenant Tasha Yar compares Lutan to a ...Federation Olympics Game hero. For the security chief, the hero had strength, daring, and dominance, all traits she believed were present in Lutan's character. [1]
- The Olympics were a series of sporting events held on a regular basis in ancient Greece. Both men and women could compete. They were founded by Hercules who intended them to stop the war between the Spartans and Eleans by showing the soldiers they could compete without battle. The first Olympics consisted of 5 events including Running, Jumping, Javelin Throwing, Discus Throwing and Boxing. Atalanta won the very first Olympic event by throwing a javelin farther than anyone else. At the first Olympics, the prizes were olive wreaths made by Salmoneus. It was also Salmoneus who came up with the name of the event and who created the symbol of the Olympic Torch (HTLJ: "Let the Games Begin"). Earlier Olympic games existed, including the location of the Olympic pancration (YH: "Winner Take All"). A version of the Olympics were played well into the 20th century. Jerry Patrick Brown attended the Olympics in Korea (HTLJ: "Yes, Virginia, There is a Hercules").
- The Olympics are a fan-favorite TP run once a year, whereupon a temporary truce is declared between the Autobots and the Decepticons so that their members can participate in sporting events without the threat of being killed. The Olympics are usually hosted by a neutral third party, and clashes with their host are not unheard of. There is often a side-event that runs throughout the Olympics. The TP usually lasts 2+ weeks. Sporting events tend to fall in two categories: Combat and non-combat. Similarly, there are team events and solo events. Some run the length of the Olympics and is organized in a play-off style tournament, while other events are one evening only, winner take all. Although the Olympics occasionally feature aliens, the main draw and focus is on the Transformers and their allies. The Olympics are a huge money-making business and is a rare exception to the notion of aliens not getting involved in the Cybertronian Wars, as fans throughout the galaxy will come to watch their favorite robots beat each other up. Safety is assured by use of holographic training room style systems, though actual injuries are not infrequent. Factions take great pride in their performance at the Olympics, and defeating the enemy on the field is a worthwhile goal. Events usually award a gold, silver, and bronze medal. The truce, which is rarely broken by either side, also gives Cybertron and Earth a break from the constant warfare, which is a great relief to many Autobots. Most factions take the time to conduct repairs and bolster their infrastructure. The day the truce ends is a guaranteed battle.
- The Arthur series mentions the Olympics many times, including the episodes Francine Frensky, Olympic Rider, World Girls, Team Trouble, Francine Goes to War, The Good Sport, D.W. Flips and The Tardy Tumbler.
