Tips for Solving Olympics Crosswords

Host city clues often describe the year and a defining moment of those Games. Medal count clues typically reference the all-time leaders (USA, Soviet Union, Great Britain). Sport clues distinguish between events within a sport — swimming has multiple strokes and distances. For ceremony clues, think about the traditional elements: torch relay, athlete parade, opening declaration, and flag handover.
