I believe the answer is:

olympics

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'games' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for olympics that I've seen before include "Large athletic competition, held every four years" , "Quadrennial games" , "Quadrennial athletics meeting" , "Four-yearly world games" , "Slim copy of the games" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
