It is 'were'.
Alleepallee,
'olympic' is not the noun in this sentence, it is a description/name of the games. the verb is referring to the games NOT the word olympic.
Here is a comparible sentence:
Ford cars were/was down in sales this year.
You would chose were because the sentence is talking about the sales of the cars not Ford.
Got it??

It's actually 'was' although games is thought of as plural (being more than one game) but the olympics was one event (as a whole) so the correct answer is was.

Were.
'Olympic' describes what kind of games were played. You'd say, "Games were held..." not "Olympic was held..."
