Actaully, back in the early olympic days, the victor would be treated as if the gods favoured them, and they wereIn 1573, the Parliament of Dole published a decree, permitting
the inhabitants of the Franche-Comte to pursue and kill a
were-wolf or loup-garou, which infested that province,
"notwithstanding the existing laws concerning the chase."
The people were empowered to "assemble with javelins,
halberds, pikes, arquebuses and clubs, to hunt and pursue the
said were-wolf in all places where they could find it, and to
take, burn, and kill it, without incurring any fine or other
penalty." The hunt seems to have been successful, if we may
judge from the fact that the same tribunal in the following
year condemned to be burned a man named Giles Garnier, who
ran on all fours in the forest and fields and devoured little
children, "even on Friday." The poor lycanthrope, it appears,
had as slight respect for ecclesiastical feasts as the French
pig, which was not restrained by any feeling of piety from
eating infants on a fast day.

by all rights demi-gods i the eyes of the people, and it was uncommon for competitors to commit suicide if they lost because they would be looked down upon. But I guess these days its quite different, the stakes are lower so all you can do is try your best.
Personally though, lets get back to real nethack jokes, I'm already sick of the olympic ones :P
No offence intended, I'm just not a fan of the olympics...
