Too funny! I imagine an Olympic geocaching event would be a marathon. You should be pretty good at that, but some of us would stink at it.

Are you thinking that Jim Thorpe and Jesse Owens are still competing in the Olympics?
Professionals have been competing in the Olympics since 1992. The old amateur rules are long gone.
