Olympic Games
This term refers specifically to the international multi-sport events organized by the International Olympic Committee. It carries a connotation of peak athletic achievement, global unity, and prestige. Because it is a proper noun referring to a specific institutional event, it is always capitalized.
Grammatically, the term is treated as a plural noun because it consists of a series of different sporting competitions. While it refers to a single overall event (the Games), it requires plural verb agreement, such as in the sentence "The Olympic Games are held every four years."
