If these domains go to arbitration you will lose them, it's as simple as that.
The direct translation for 奥运 is 'The Olympics' .. That is the actual translation so there is no way you could reasonably defend the use of this domain.
While the information you supply is admirable is was supplied after it was pointed out that these domains are inherently worthless, you should have made your points in your initial post rather than let a buyer pay for them who may or may not have any idea about WIPOs or trademark law, UDRPs etc.
Do you think you could defend the domain names 'theolympics.ws', theolympicgames.ws', olympics.ws' etc succesfuly no matter what content you put on them? I don't think so.
That is ultimately the question you have to answer to yourself before you take on such a risky venture.
Just because they are in a language other than English does not protect you from pursuit of legal redress and the fact they are posted in a public forum for all to see with the intent to sell is not a wise move IMO as it shows you, the initial registrant, displaying bad faith by wanting to sell them (Bad faith being one of the main criteria decisions are based on) And if you do sell them on it does not protect you from legal action as there is proof positive right here that you had no intention to do anything with them other than to make money from them and by doing so you have broken 2 of the 3 points you yourself brought up as to what you can and cant do with them:
2. You must state clearly it is not an official site.
3. You derive income that they would normally get.
Not only that you have handily supplied your email address should the hoard of IOC lawyers need to get in touch with you.

The IOC only challanges those who do the wrong thing. Olympic and Olympic games sites have existed for the last 2 olympics with no interference from the IOC or national Olympic Committees
The main criteria you must adhere to are
1. You can not use there logo, mascot, copyright material and insignia. (except where a product which has paid for the licensing is depicted)
2. You must state clearly it is not an official site.
3. You derive income that they would normally get.
Examples of acceptable behaviour is
Blog type sites
Hero sites
Forums
Supporter sites
Information sites (that do not advise people to do the wrong thing)
Unacceptable are
Sites supply/depict images in or around the olympic zone
Sites that are detremental to the olypic idea of co-excistance and understanding
Sites that assist in cheating or avoid paying for things that should be paid for
Ticket scalping
Selling non authorised and/or counterfit merchandise.
You will note also in the example given - it was a no contest and that in one of the summaries the Olympic comittee was warned that it was for it to protect actively before others registered domains not to react afterwards.
The suggested above uses also cover areas of usage that the olympic commitee do not hold a trademark for. People tend to forget that trademark protection only applies to the classes of goods and services they are nominated for. Almost all Olympic (as in the games) are solely for the running of games/events, protional merchandise in relation to these games and advertising of these games. Further .WS names are from Western Samoa and there is no recognised Trade Mark in effect for the word "Olympic".
The word Olympis is used by hundreds of large organisations world wide with Trade mark protection for defined areas. Again a user would be safe to use this domain as long as they do not infringe these rights

Do you have any idea how vigorously the IOC (International Olympic Committee) pursue those who infringe on their trademark?
Just to give you an idea here's a google search for IOC, WIPO
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=IOC%2C+wipo&btnG=Search
(And... if you don't know what a WIPO or UDRP is I suggest you look it up before buying heavily trademarked domains)
