    Little things

    It bothers me throughout the series that Jim can't pronounce "Dwight," always calling him "Duh-white." And the constant references to co-workers in the workplace as a "family" are nauseating.

    Office Olympics

    For me it was only in the 2nd series that this show started to move out of the shadow of its UK counterpart and become its own beast.

    This is a lovely episode, with some good examples of heart to go alongside the humour.

    Heart-warming

    This episode changed the show from good to great. 'The Office Olympics' is one of the most heart-warming and fun episodes of the whole show. And the ending with Michael concludes this as a great episode.

    Re-watching in 2021...

    I have just watched the episode and I think this is the one where they found the spirit of the show.

    Simple, complicated and sincere...

    Whole Olympics thing maybe wasn't funniest or interesting to watch but as it was cute and first time they've shown some support and trust to their boss can't give it less than 9. Best episode so far.

    • Trivia
      The first appearance (in photo with Dwight) of Mose, played by Michael Schur, who also wrote this episode.
    • Goofs
      In the scene where Jim lights the candle and hums the Olympic theme, the camera pans too far to the right and one of the cameramen is clearly visible. However, given the "mockumentary" style, it is acceptable for cameramen to be in the room.
