- Weightlifting Fairy, Kim Bok-joo
- Grand Prix (movie)
- Strong Woman Do Bong Soon

My Secret Romance - Sung Hoon the ML was actually a athlete - he was a swimmer - there is a swimming scene
Fight My Way - (not a favorite) but he is in Mixed Martial Arts
Oh My Venus - They work out like crazy - Great Flirty Workouts
Secret Garden - she is a stunt woman - they workout a lot
Bow Than Kiss - Archery - Movie
To The Beautiful You sports I think track
High School King sports football maybe
Looking through my list those are the only ones with some “sporty” type things that I can think of

Some Kdramas from my list that would qualify:
Matching! Boys Archery (Archery)
Moorim School (If I remember correctly, they train in various physical activities and fighting techniques, some of which might be seen in the Olympics?)
Racket Boys (On Ntfx - badminton)
Run On (On Ntfx - ML is a national athlete in track)
Thirty but Seventeen (the younger brother is a rower on the crew team)
Thumping Spike 1 & 2 (volleyball)
And some C-dramas also, just for fun:
First Romance (FL is a javelin thrower)
Go! Goal! Fighting! (Soccer)
My Mr. Mermaid (Swimming)
Sweet Combat (Boxing)
The Best of You in My Mind (Archery)

Hate the drama with a FIRE but Who Are You School 2015’s ML was a swimmer. Nam Joo Hyuk really loves water, I guess 
18 Again the ML, his son, the secondary couple SML and some other guys are on the basketball team. SML is a baseball player so lots of baseball and basketball games.
Not really sports, but Lawless Lawyer has lots of martial arts and he trains FL a bit too.
You Are My Hero the military guys play basketball but not a lot
Well-Intended Love has quite a bit of fencing
Oh My Venus has professional boxing(or wrestling I can’t remember)… the ML is a boxers trainer.

Oh yes that is true and guess who it is - OUR SWIMMER - Sung Hoon -
mixed martial arts maybe - boxing.
I was going to say lawless lawyer but I wasn’t really sure that was a sport thing or not
Wasn’t there a Lee Jong Suk with some boxing -??? Can’t remember what one that was - was it W - where he had his body guard teach him boxing - there are actually a lot of boxing shows.
Aw, Midnight Runners - Park Seo Joon wasn’t there working out and boxing???

Some sport-themed dramas are gone like:
Dr. Champ - I think this one was about the Asian games, but could as well have talked about Olympics, anyway, this was as close as a sport drama I ever saw, with portraying sportsman and -women and the doctor in a training camp I believe. It is no longer on Viki.
Basketball - but I remember being told it was a hard watch, so I am not sure, but will at least mention it
Maybe some movies, since we are at it:
As One This one was pretty good, but no longer on Viki
Run Off - Is actually about making a female ice hockey team for the Olympics
Our Finest Hour - good one too, about handball.
Sport orientated dramas:
My favorite sports drama at Viki at the moment, no Olympics but Baseball
Not a drama but a show, don’t have access, but maybe you:
Btw. E-Sports is Olympics since this year, but I have no clue which drama takes this topic and I think most of them are from China.
From other countries:
No more …

Not really summer Olympics but I didn’t realize there were so many sports related Dramas. These have baseball, Gymnastics, Cheerleading, Equestrian, Hockey
Witches is 2021 Variety show
Grand Prix is a 2010 movie but it was added to Viki recently so I watched it (since Kim Tae-hee was in it).
