An Olympiad is a period of four years, associated with the Olympic Games of Classical Greece. In the Hellenistic period, beginning with Ephorus, Olympiads were used as calendar epoch. In this reckoning, the first Olympiad lasted from the summer of 776 BC to that of 772 BC. By extrapolation, the 4th year of the 697th Olympiad begins in (Northern-Hemisphere) summer 2012.
Today, an Olympiad refers to a period beginning January 1 of a year in which the Summer Olympics are due to occur, and lasting four years. The first modern Olympiad began in 1896, the second began in 1900, and so on. The 30th began in 2012 (see the Olympic Charter).
An Olympiad, especially in ancient literature, was a period of four years. Example: Olympiad 140 - Yr. 1 - 220/219 B.C., Yr. 2 - 219/218 B.C., Yr. 3 - 218/217 B.C., Yr. 4 - 217/216 B.C.
Faster, faster you lazy shit
Inefficient, completely incompetent
A huge swimming star
Is what you become
Not what you are
That's how it works
See the scheme underlined by the master
Move faster flabby bastard
A whip hits that bare ass
Said nothing? Nothing...?
Our plans, our dreams...
How could I've been so blind?
Well, from now on
We are going further
Training, fighting even harder
Nothing matters as much...
Your plans - not mine
Your dreams - not mine
The hundred meters butterfly race
Far from winning again
The only interest in life
Doesn't make sense
At the time you've no defense
Drowning... as the scheme is broken
You - shame of your own master
