    the IOC have trademarks covering the olympics term and regularly file disputes, possibly sedo got a letter.

    You're not alone, it happens every 4 years.

    There should be a default mech at all registration sites to reject domains with the word olympic. Just my 2 cents.

    It would be a good idea really, but in the end, if all trademarks where treated like that then no one would be able to register any domain names.
