The Olympic is a greyhound racing competition held annually at Brighton & Hove Greyhound Stadium.[1]

It was inaugurated in 1947 at Wandsworth Stadium.[2] Following the closure of Wandsworth in June 1966 the competition switched to Charlton Stadium which itself closed in September 1971.[3] After an eight year gap the event was resurrected by Hove in 1979 and has remained there since.[4]
