The Olympics have historical significance to the Homestar Runner universe as the Original Book was created while Mike Chapman and Craig Zobel had jobs in the 1996 Summer Olympics, which were held in their home state of Georgia. The worldwide sports event receives as much attention in the Homestar universe as it does in the real world.
