	Operation Olympic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Operation Downfall was finalised during the spring and summer of 1945.
		Its purpose was to seize and control the southern one-third of that island and establish naval and air bases, to tighten the naval blockade of the home islands, to destroy units of the main Japanese army and to support the later invasion of the Tokyo Plain.
		Olympic was not just a plan for invasions, but for conquest and occupation as well.

	Preface - V [Marine] Amphibious Corps Planning for Operation Olympic and the Role of Intelligence in Support of ...
		Thesis: That the intelligence estimates of the Japanese forces and their capabilities on Kyushu, for Operation Olympic, were so inaccurate that an amphibious assault by the V Amphibious Corps would have failed.
		Composed of the Second, Third and Fifth Marine Divisions, V Amphibious Corps was to conduct an assault on the southwestern coast of Kyushu.
		The operational plans, staff studies and intelligence estimates produced by General MacArthur's staff, Admiral Nimitz's staff, the U.S. Sixth Army, V Amphibious Corps, and various Navy commands in the Pacific were used as primary sources.

	MOK Review nr.5
		The representatives of the National Olympic Committees agreed that the Balkan Olympic Days, previously set to take place in Macedonia in 2001, were to be postponed for the following year, the reason thereof being the many sports events in the post-Olympic period and the lack of chance for the BOD to fit in the calendar.
		The ABNOC is pleased with the measures undertaken by the IOC in 1999 for the improvement of the IOC's efficiency, underlining the role of the President Juan Antonio Samaranch.
		Olympic Solidarity does not have any "special" relationship with the regional associations such as this one, however, through the individual NOCs belonging to these associations, Olympic Solidarity, through its flexible approach, is always prepared to consider proposals.

		Olympic Pipe Line Co. and Shell Pipeline Co. LP owe at total of $37.2 million in fines for environmental damage caused when Olympic's pipeline ruptured and exploded in Whatcom Falls Park in 1999, according to a lawsuit filed Thursday by the U.S. Department of Justice and the Environmental Protection Agency.
		Olympic, Shell and IMCO Construction, which Olympic has accused of damaging the pipeline five years before the rupture, are also negotiating with the state Department of Ecology to determine how much each company will pay of $7.86 million in fines state officials say the companies owe for violating state environmental laws.
		The action was separate from a criminal indictment brought against Olympic, Equilon and three individuals in September, alleging the rupture stemmed from felony and misdemeanor violations of federal law.

		The point was stressed that because the plant was operating the preliminary programme might have to be changed prior to the exercise or might not be feasible due to unforeseen circumstances during the exercise.
		Olympic Dam Operations were willing to commit three metallurgists at a time so that exercises could be undertaken with four - five students, making for a very effective exercise.
		Although the QUILL exercise at Olympic Dam did not require additional resources on the part of the company, it did require time to be allocated by industry staff and the programme required additional monetary resources to administrate and travel to the Olympic Dam.

	Atomic Bombs in WWII
		Operation Downfall was divided into two major operations, Operation Olympic, the invasion of the island of Kyushu to be executed in the fall of 1945, and Operation Coronet, the invasion of Honshu, scheduled for the spring of 1946.
		One of the impacts that this estimate had was in the mind of General Marshall, for he contemplated the possibility of using the newly developed atomic bomb against Japanese forces on Kyushu in support of the invasion instead of against Japanese cities.
		This statement was used in an attempt to differentiate Olympic and Coronet from the bloody island battles in the Pacific.

	Pacific War, Operation Downfall
		OPERATION DOWNFALL, to be complete within one year of the end of the war in Europe, had two major components.
		There are two sets of potential casualty figures; a low number used to gain approval to proceed with the operation; and a high number used to plan reserve forces, medical needs and, as it turned out, to claim as lives saved by use of the atom bomb.
		Coronet was a larger operation than Olympic, but the landing on Kyushu, the southern island, was expected to be the more expensive because all of the homeland defensives would have been expended there and the promised replacements for Coronet would have been made industrially impossible.

		Suicide operations, in fact, were viewed as the key to success in the defense of the homeland, as the Deputy Chief of the Army General Staff told an Imperial Conference in June 1945.

		The condemning, as was expected, decision made today by the College of Commissioners in Brussels signals the end of an era for the operation of Olympic Airlines in its present form.
		In effect, what appears to have happened in December 2003 is that all flight operations that were previously carried out within the Olympic Airways Group by Olympic Airways, Olympic Aviation and Olympic Macedonian were concentrated in a new entity renamed Olympic Airlines.
		Olympic Airlines leases aircraft either from Olympic Airways or directly from the Greek State and pays significantly less than the head-lease payments, the resultant losses being borne by the State or by Olympic Airways at the State’s behest.

	The Story of the Invasion of Japan
		In the first invasion, in what was code named "Operation Olympic," American combat troops would be landed by amphibious assault during the early morning hours of November 1, 1945, on Japan itself.
		The objective of "Olympic" was to seize and control the island of Kyushu in order to use it for the launching platform for "Coronet," which was hoped to be a final blow aimed at Toyko and the Kanto Plain.
		Had "Olympic" begun, these planes would be needed to provide an umbrella of protection for the soldiers and sailors of the invasion.

		At the Olympics, some things remain the same—winners are still lauded, for instance, though not with laurel leaves but with gold medals and shoe contracts.
		The Olympic Village is considerably further from the city and from the tourist sites than in other recent Olympics and that may prompt more Village residents to stick around rather than venture out.
		Operations manager Bridgett Stapleton estimates that four to six tractor trailer loads will make their way into the Olympic Village from the Elgeka warehouse every night—there will be a strict midnight-to-6-am delivery window for security purposes.

		The Indian Olympic Association, for instance, lists 24 objectives in its official charter -- winning a medal is not one of them.
		What he found was that there was none worth the name. He realized that existing sports institutions lacked focus; this in turn led him to the realization that a holistic, rounded approach was required if the objective was to be attained.
		Reference terms, thus, were set with a proposal for a sports academy with international class training infrastructure matching Olympic standards. It was further proposed that coaches be hired from those countries that excel in the chosen disciplines.
