If it had anything to do with the olympics or anything similar to the games (including the word games, the year, etc) it will get bumped.
A german company has rights to the word(s) or variation(s) to olympics, olympia, olympiad, etc. Sedo enforces that one particular TM as if it applies to every where and every thing on the planet.
There is no reverse hijacking to it. Those are Sedo's rules so park it elsewhere.
On another note, ever since the winter olympics in Salt Lake City, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has been on a tear after olympic names to include city and date.

Sedo haven't necessarily actually recieved a complaint from any one .. Sedo legal, scan their data base/sales listings/parked names etc, to avoid possible legal ramifications coming back onto Sedo .. it's more than likely that you will not recieve a reply from Sedo legal with an explaination of why your name has been deleted from the Sedo data base or who complained as probably no one did ... it a preventive action by Sedo to protect Sedo ..

Are you a travel agency ? It's also a question of usage.

It is simply a matter of place/date and its relation to the olympics.
The IOC and place own the rights to the name as it pertains to the place and date. Period.
There is really no discussion or debate on this matter.
This comes out of many lawsuits filed and won by both the IOC and Salt Lake City for those olympics and olympics going forward.
You have domainers to thank for those rulings.
