On January 23, 1992, RINGO was en route to attend its first Olympic Games. The first destination was Annecy, France where the Canadian Olympic Team Members gathered from January 28th to February 5th before proceeding to their respective Olympic villages. During this time, the Canadians had a chance to play a special version of RINGO, "Rendez-Vous Annecy '92", which featured all of the 1992 Olympic Team members.

The first of three RINGO contests began on February 3, five days before the Olympic Games. The 3 contests spanned a 3 week period (21 days), with the last one finishing on the last day of the Olympic Games. Each Canadian team member received a total of 3 game cards, one for each of the 3 series of contests. Journal Canada, an official circular that was distributed to all of the Olympic villages, published a set of 5 RINGOs daily, featuring past international Olympians and some facts about the I.O.C.

The first players with a row of 5 matching RINGOs would present the completed RINGO game cards, as soon as possible, day or night, to the administration officer at the Olympic village for verification. Prizes were provided by the Canadian Olympic Association which included day trips, special dinners with I.O.C. members, and luggage.

Just as in Albertville, there were 3 RINGO contests over a 3 week period starting on February 7th, with similar prizes awarded to the winners.

For the Lillehammer Games, CTV produced several short series, one of which was "On The Town" with John McKeachie. During prime-time coverage, on February 26, 1994, just before the exhibition performance of the figure skating program. RINGO made its first national television appearance with a demonstration with some of the Canadian Olympic team members and John McKeachie.

1996 was the first appearance for RINGO at the Summer Olympics. For these special Centennial Games, RINGO received a complete face lift. A variety of colourful images, depicting different Olympic sports, were used in the background on the game cards. Also special coloured pictographs were designed to represent the events.

For Atlanta, one contest was produced that took place over an 8 day period during the 2nd half of the Olympic Games, starting on July 28th. On the same day Canada won 4 medals with Donovan Bailey winning the gold in the 100m sprint in a world record time of 9.84 seconds. Other medal winners included Marnie McBean and Kathleen Heddle with a gold in the double sculls, Silken Laumann, a silver and Derek Porter a silver, both in single sculls.

RINGO was not a newcomer to Nagano. In Japanese, ringo means 'apple', the fruit, which is one of the top agricultural products of Nagano.

The RINGO game cards were distributed to the athletes at "Staging" in Calgary at the end of January, just before the Canadian team left for Nagano. Other events in Calgary included a gala dinner and audio/visual presentation for the Olympic athletes. An exhibition ice-hockey game was played at the Saddledome between the women's teams from the U.S.A. and Canada.

There were two weekly RINGO contests starting on February 8th and on February 15th. Since this was during the beginning of the age of the internet, the RINGO website was developed to publish the daily RINGO clues as well as the team results in the events. This was the first time that only Canadian Olympians were featured for both contests.

A bronze medalist in the women's 3,000 metre relay, and gold medalist in the 500 metre short track speed skating events, Annie Perreault was also a RINGO winner! at the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics.
