The Olympics are an excellent topic for education, beginning in the earliest years of elementary school, and progressing through high school and college/university. Olympic sport topics can be integrated not only into physical education, but also into math, science, and writing classes.
Graphs and visual analysis provide an excellent segue between Olympics and traditional school topics. The following books from Schottenbauer Publishing provide academic material which can be integrated into classes, school projects, homework, homeschool, academic enrichment programs, afterschool programs, and summer camps.
