Well, guys like Owens and Carl Lewis also did long jump -- but their ability to do well at long jump derives partly from their ability to run.

True and some gymnastics events have cross-over.

So maybe just limit the total # of events an Olympian can compete in? They should do something... just because they've added 8405 events in swimming doesn't mean all swimmers are the best Olympians.
