I thought of Mars Volta but didn't place Volta with an olympic event so ruled it out .
Well really, what other kind of clues can you make out of a non-word? How about re-volta?

Nah my fault as I wasn't considering the word sounded like an olympic event.
Btw Volta comes from Alessandro Volta who was an Italian physicist who researched electricity and batteries 200 years ago. The word Voltage comes from his name
