Sorry mate you are wrong!!!

Monopods have always been allowed at every Olympics I've shot since 1968 in 
Mexico! Most of them, Winter & Summer, Pan American and Commonwealth Games. 
How do you think the guys working with a 600mm Canon or Nikon gear hold the 
lens and camera?

My son does hand hold a 400mm Canon and shoots quite a bit of his sport 
assignments in that fashion. But then he has muscles and shoulders like a 
weight-lifter! Amazing to watch him!
