   The big thing with the olympics (besides the games) are the medals. Have the kids make them and find some inch wide ribbon to hang them around kid’s neck. If that is a choking hazard, you can pin them on the kids, and tie a ribbon bow on the medal first. Have the kids step up onto a stool when they get their medal, like they do at the olympics. Flags are important, try going on Oriental Trading Company’s website. They would have lots of international things, or going to a party store may help you, too. Kids could design flags (6 colors make up the olympic rings- at least one color from every country’s flag is represented in the rings) using regular typing paper turned sideways. String the flags on yarn across a room. Make torches from paper towel cores and yellow and orange tissue paper glued at the end for the "flame". A tennis shoe theme would work for nametags, a graph, or keeping track of who is entered in each event.
