Form both hands into 'F' handshapes, where your index fingers and thumbs touch to make circles while your other fingers stay extended. Link the circles of your right and left hands together in front of your chest. Pull them apart slightly, move them to the side, and link them again to mimic the interlocking rings of the Olympic logo.
Sign 'I', 'love', 'watch', 'Olympics', 'on', 'TV'. Use the interlocking 'F' hands for 'Olympics' to clearly show the famous rings.
Sign 'Olympics', 'happen', 'this', 'year', while raising your eyebrows and leaning forward slightly to indicate a yes/no question.
Sign 'She', 'win', 'gold', 'medal', 'at', 'Olympics'. Emphasize the smooth linking motion of the 'Olympics' sign to clearly establish the event.

No, you do not need to count out five links. In ASL, repeating the linking motion two or three times as you move your hands slightly across your chest is perfectly sufficient to represent the Olympic rings.
While the 'O' handshape might seem logical because the word starts with the letter 'O', the standard and most widely accepted ASL sign for the Olympics uses the 'F' handshape. The 'F' shape allows the fingers to physically interlock much more easily.
Generally, you start the sign in front of your chest and move slightly outward or to your dominant side as you repeat the linking motion. The most important part is the clear interlocking of the circles rather than a strict directional path.
