Cheers again for all the advice.
I wouldn't like any of those choices for the Olympics, I would want the versatility of the F/2.8 of the 70-200mm II. I have been to way to many games this year and speed is everything, especially if you are unsure of the lighting.

The 200mm F/2 would be a good rental and fast enough but not versatile. Depending on the events you are going to, and since you are using full frame 5D III the 300mm F/2.8 might be a good rental. With either you better be prepared to pack some weight.
