[Data-modeling] Refactoring of some Olympics types

[Faye Harris]

I'm all for it.

Incidentally, is there a plan to do the same refactoring for Award 
Category? It has two properties similar to an Olympic event's 
competitors and medalists: Winners, and Nominees, with the nominees 
naturally including the winners as well.
