Olympic is a station on the Tung Chung line of Hong Kong's MTR. The livery is dodger blue.
The station was originally named Tai Kok Tsui in proposals outlined by the government in the Airport Core Programme during the 1990s. In 1996, however, when Lee Lai-shan won the first ever Olympic gold medal of Hong Kong in windsurfing at the Atlanta 1996 Summer Olympics and two Hong Kong sportsmen, Cheung Yiu-cheung and Chiu Chung-lun, also won Gold medals in the Paralympic Games of the same year, the (then-under construction) station was renamed Olympic on 16 December 1996, paying tribute to those achievements of Hong Kong athletes. The station is decorated with the pictures of the 1996 Summer Olympics and is named after the Olympic Games.
Olympic is only one of two stations on the Tung Chung line not shared with another line, the other being Tung Chung.[1]
History
The construction contract for the station was awarded to the Laing-Hip Hing joint venture in November 1994.
On 22 June 1998, Olympic station opened in sync with Tung Chung line.
Station layout
Both side platforms are parallel to each other and are at ground level. They do not share the same island platform due to the Airport Express trains running through the station, between the two platforms, without stopping. The Tuen Ma line also does not serve this station, despite running under the east side of the station near Lin Cheung Road.
