I'd guess not a lot.

Generally they're a set of people used to controlling every aspect of their body and its performance, and they're on the wrong side of a four year window if they want to go to the games again. I don't doubt they're getting it on, but I'd bet they're also more proactive about birth control.

Yeah I would guess the vast majority of women competing are on birth control. No way would I let something as stupid as an ill timed period and all the hormonal crazy that comes with it potentially affect my performance at an event I'd been training 4 years for.
