Maybe IOC wants also to change the names of: Olympous (Highest Greek mountain and the home of the Olympic Gods of ancient Greece). Olympia (the birthplace of the Olympics, Greece). Come on guys this is at least ridiculous, the Olympics is not a trademark of anybody, and if it is, it belongs to the ancient Greek people and to the whole world. The spirit of Olympism (the participation and the good game counts...) is an idea that can't be trademarked and narrowed down to the games. That's how we have also para-Olympics, chess-Olympics etc. Cheers from Olympous,Greece (I hope I'm not sued by anybody just for living near the original Olympous:)))))
