I don't think that it's an official Olympics logo. The closest is Barcelona Summer Olympics 1992, and it's not that similar.

Not Olympics; some other international sports thing. Paralympics? Commonwealth Games? Some other competition that happens in the alternate years when an Olympics isn't? IDK.

goes looking

It looks like the Paralympics don't do an annual thing; they've changed a few times, but with the exception of the first (which was three wheelchair wheels), it's been a combination of three swooshes:

It doesn't look like it's the Commonwealth Games either:

I tried doing a Google Images search for "athletic competition stars logo", but didn't turn anything likely up. The closest I was able to find was stock vector art:
