Olympic software

A user on the Sinclair QL For Everyone group on Facebook posted asking about software called Olympic for the QL, which she had on microdrive, with handwritten title and a date of 1986. Details were a bit scant, she thought it came from a magazine listing perhaps, possibly QL World or Sinclair User.

I looked in a QL World magazine index, QL Wiki, QL PD libraries and a couple of sites online which have scanned magazine listings from that period, couldn't find anything.

Anyone have any idea what it might be? As well as helping this user out, it would be nice to get it preserved if anyone has information.

As far as I know, Olympic Software came from Germany and was in contact and involved with the ex-Thornado Club, which had several pages in QLW.

I guess he is referring to Pentathlete program. I posted it here: https://www.theqlforum.com/viewtopic.php ... ete#p36194

Always helps if they can tell me the right program name, the right magazine, the right year...

I see what you meant though Andrei, the listing in QL User October 1985 was very small print!
