1. Olympics

   A modified revival of the ancient Olympian games, consisting of international athletic games, races, etc., now held once in four years, the first having been at Athens in 1896. There are now two sets of modern Olympic games, the summer games and the winter games. Both had been held every four years, in the same year, but in 1998 for the first time the winter games began to be held two years after the summer games, though each series is still held only once every four years. The number and types of sports contests held at the olympics has greatly expanded from the original number.

Examples of Olympics in a Sentence

1. Robert Smith:

   Is a professional boxer going to drop everything to go and fight in the Olympics ? Pros take three rounds to warm up. It's a different discipline, i wouldn't have thought anyone who's already been there, done it, been a world champion, wants to go back and jeopardize what they've already achieved.

2. Yoshihide Suga:

   We are determined to work closely together with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, the Tokyo 2020 Organizing Committee, and the IOC to realize a safe and secure Olympics.

3. Nelson Imana:

   If you see somebody with Masters gear, they'll ask you about it because you can only buy it there, so if they see this band, they'll say OK, you've probably been to Rio and the Olympics.

4. Lee Igel:

   If NBC doesn't pay enough attention to Covid, then it looks like they are denying reality, however, bringing Covid too much into the discussion and you could alienate viewers who are tired of the pandemic and want to watch The Olympics for the glory of the games. How the broadcast balances that will be something to look out for.

5. The Swedes:

   We looked at Germany and knew there would be a bit more space behind their backline to exploit with Blackstenius and Jakobsson. It worked well, sprinting past the defensive line, we've talked about the possibilities here to go far and win every game. A good sign is that we're now qualified for the Olympics, which was hanging over our heads for a while. Now we don't have to worry about it. There's not a single cell in us that's content with this. We're going to go for it.
