I'm all for athletes competing through adversity etc but what has shocked me for years is that the Olympics could easily make it easier for multiple event athletes to compete by spreading events out further. There is no reason that these swimmers competing in multiple events should be doing a 50 meter butterfly heat and then turning around and doing a 200 meter backstroke finals fifteen minutes later. The last week won't have any swimming, and the first week had no running. They have three weeks. They should use them and keep the athletes fresh.
Oh and don't make them swim in some nasty river.
