The answer is modern. Adjectives are defined as a word/words or phrase/phrases naming an attribute, added to or grammatically related to a noun to modify or describe it. In other words, it describes a noun or modifies a noun. In this sentence, modern modifies or describes the noun Olympics. Greece, Athens, and Olympics are not adjectives because the are nouns in themselves.
