What Is The Definition Of Olympic Goal?
1. This is a term that is used to describe when a goal is scored off a corner kick when no one from either team has touched the ball. The Olympic goal is a rare way to score a goal, with it occurring usually due to the goalie misplaying the ball or if there is a strong wind that is pushing in towards the goal, therefore helping the ball curve in towards the net.
This usage of the phrase is not to be confused with simply scoring a goal during an Olympic match.
