Well the Olympics Games is a prestigious event that is an integral part of our culture. The training that goes into being the very best is very hard-work for certain people, regardless of whether it's 100M, Cycling or Marathon Swimming.
The people that Jake has mentioned have come out of the Olympics being the greatest at what they do in the whole world. That should definitely be rewarded. I get that 100M might not seem that much of a feat, but it's still a lot better to part of in terms of what it represents.
