I was thinking the same thing about Bolt. Why doesn't he move and do the 800m? Why stay in the event you are dominant at, it can't be very fun. Better move to somewhere where you're not so good. Shoot, maybe Bolt should even try pole vault.
I know! Go figure! I guess setting world records and winning Olympic medals must have some "fun" aspect to it. Hmmmm... I wonder what could it be....?

Upon further review......
Astylos of Kroton won the stadion (200 meter) and diaulos (400 meter) in three consecutive olympics starting in 488BC.
Leonidas of Rhodes won both of those races and the Armour race for 4 consecutive olympics starting in 164BC.
