The '''olympia''' ([[monzo]]: {{monzo| 17 -5 0 -2 -1 }}, [[ratio]]: 131072/130977), otherwise known as the '''olympic comma''', is an [[unnoticeable comma|unnoticeable]] [[11-limit]] (specifically [[2.3.7.11 subgroup|2.3.7.11-]][[subgroup]]) [[comma]] measuring about 1.26 [[cent]]s. It is the difference between the undecimal quartertone ([[33/32]]) and a stack of two septimal commas (([[64/63]])2). Even more interesting is the factorization into two [[13-limit]] [[superparticular ratio]]s: ([[2080/2079]])⋅([[4096/4095]]). These ratios and the olympia itself are the default intervals represented by one, two, and three [[mina]]s in the Olympian level of [[Sagittal notation]], from which it gets its name.
