Olympic (traditional Chinese: 奧運) is a station on the Tung Chung Line of Hong Kong's MTR. The livery is dodger blue. The station was originally known as Tai Kok Tsui in proposals outlined by the government in the Airport Core Programme ([1]) during the 1990s. Lee Lai Shan won the first ever Olympic gold medal of Hong Kong in the event windsurfing of Atlanta Olympic Games 1996. Two Hong Kong sportsmen Cheung Yiu Cheung and Chiu Chung Lun also won Gold medals in Paralympic Games of the same year. In 16th December, 1996, the station was renamed Olympic paying tribute to the achievements of Hong Kong athletes. The station is decorated with the pictures of 1996 Summer Olympics and is named after the Olympic Movement.

	Platform 2	Tung Chung Line towards Hong Kong
	-	Exits, transport interchange

Although both platforms are parallel to each other on ground level, they do not share the same island platform due to the Airport Express Trains running through the middle of the station. So, passengers again will have to choose the specific escalator for their platform in the concourse.

Entrances/Exits

All exits are reached by pedestrian footbridges reaching out to all directions from the concourse, built in a rectangular box in the middle of the West Kowloon Highway.
