In Japanese the word for Olympics is 五輪.
Two kanji and even if you're a beginner you can probably read the first kanji right?
It's 5 (don't worry if you didn't get it, though after hiragana and katakana, the numbers are probably worth doing! They give a good return on the time invested to learn them)
The second kanji is "rings".
So the literal translation of Olympics in Japanese is 5 rings, which I think sounds much better :D
五輪 「ごりん」 - Five rings - Olympics
