The Pink Panther in: Olym-Pinks, is an animated sports-themed special which first aired on ABC on February 22, 1980 to coincide with the 1980 Winter Olympics.

This was the final Pink Panther cartoon to be produced by DePatie-Freleng Enterprises as well as the last Pink Panther production involving creator Friz Freleng before his departing to return to Warner Bros. Animation.

Unlike NBC-TV, which required all Panther broadcasts to be fitted with a laugh track, ABC did not insist upon laughter being added — a first for the series.

In Lake Placid, New York, the Pink Panther and the little man are in a series of Winter Olympic games. After several comical mishaps including being chased by a piano that seemingly wants his head on a silver platter surrounded by lettuce, and an upside-down chase through the snow after falling off a ski lift, the panther wins the Gold medal while the little man earns a Silver.

On November 6, 2007, Olym-pinks was released alongside Pink at First Sight and A Pink Christmas on the DVD collection The Pink Panther: A Pink Christmas from MGM Home Entertainment/20th Century Fox Home Entertainment.
