I just saw this on the CBC website and it really bothered me. Why not put Bolt in the water and Plelps on the track and see what happens? Or better yet, put them on the rings!

There are so many excellent athletes that excel at what they do, how can you say one is the best? Gymnastics are amazing to watch; weight lifting has been crazy; triathlons look pretty damn grueling...

The only difference is that water and running sports have way more options to get metals. So, if you're really good, you clean up. Why not have 7 or 10 shooting events?

Huh, I needed that off my chest..
