The Punky Brewster episode "Camp Confusion" had an Olympics-style competition between Camp Tumbleweeds (where Punky attends) and Camp Towering Pines (where Margaux is). Punky wins two events single-handedly but Margaux accuses her of using Glomer to help her. Glomer offers to stay with Margaux to prove Punky can win by herself, but when things go wrong for Camp Tumbleweeds, Punky suspects Glomer of helping Towering Pines. | |

Though technically not much of an example of this trope, an episode of The Simpsons had Bart and the whole school offending the Olympic committee, resulting in 20 hours of community service for the students, while Bart and Lisa are put in charge of an old folk home in Springfield. Episode 11 of Season 23 is about the London 2012 Olympic Games. |

The second half of episode five of Zombie Land Saga has the girls of Franchouchou participating in the Gatalymicsnote The name being a combination of Olypmics and the Japanese name for the mudflats where the event is held Kashima Higata in an effort to raise the profile of the band. It goes about as well as could be expected. | |

The entire premise of Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games is Mario and Sonic characters competing in Olympic Events like the 100m run, 110m hurdles, and Table Tennis. What's interesting is that it also has "Dream Events", which has the same rules as regular events except in a place from the Sonic or Mario universe. The game got enough success to have five sequels: Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games, Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games, Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Winter Games, Mario & Sonic At The Rio 2016 Olympic Games, and Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020*the event was tentatively postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, but the game had already been released before the initial outbreak. |

Murdoch Mysteries: Though no episode has yet followed characters to the actual Olympic Games, training for the Olympics gets an occasional mention in the series, and an Olympic tryout forms one subplot: "Still Waters" focuses on a rowing team at a country club and rivalry for a place in the men's eights team: a wealthy club member demands the talented gardener give up his seat in the boat, but the coach and the other team members know they need the gardener (who holds every rowing record at the club) to have a shot at qualifying for the Olympics. Guess who dies? "Twisted Sisters" starts with a couple of cross-country runners finding the body of a dead woman just after a training run. Dr. Grace learns from one of the runners that a club is sending a croquet player to the 1900 Olympics, leading to a subplot in which she contests the spot (she was city-wide croquet champion two years running). After the curling match between his team and some members of Station 4, Leslie Garland praises Murdoch's innovative sliding shoe and asks if his club can use them in the upcoming Nordic games. Murdoch is pleased to consent. Garland goes on to express the hope that those games will grow and become a "winter Olympics". Inspector Brackenreid is Put on a Bus for a few episodes to coach the Canadian football (soccer) team to Olympic gold at the 1904 Olympics in St Louis. |

One of the 2016 storylines for Safe Havens is about Dave competing as a member of Team USA's basketball team...and about how their adversary is Team Italy, many players whom played with or against Dave in his basketball career. Thanks to Dave making more...mundane passes than expected, Team USA claims gold...and that's one thing he will always lord over his wife Samantha's head, as she gave up a budding sports career to focus on science. | |
