Do you mean like a country's Olympic committee, or are we talking about the international olympics committee, or what?

As Olympic Games currently inherits from "Event" it picks up "Location" but this is one of those cases where the Event's Location property is annoyingly general and better handled by a more specific expected type.  Will fix.
