I will grant you that if you desire to capture action shots at the Olympics, you are right on the mark, you need to have long fast glass. On the other hand, the action is only a very, very small part of everything that is happening at the Olympics. I am sure that someone who knows how to shoot with only one lens cound shoot a huge amount of film at the Olympics and walk with a lot of saleable images.
