I have seen "the London Olympics" referred to as a singular noun, as in the title "The London Olympics is a corporate lockdown"
I've also seen the plural use of Olympic Games, as in the sentence "The London Olympic Games are safe and secure"
I'm confused about this, and wonder whether "the London Olympics" or "the London Olympic Games" should be used as a singular or a plural form?
Can I say "each Olympics was attractive?"
or "Olympics is a double-edged sword, which brings the host city both opportunity and challenge"?
