You'd only get two typical Travelcards (in one transaction). But I
don't think anyone is suggesting that TfL are upgrading their ticket
machines to take Paywave - they've had three years to do that and no
sign of it.

I would not be totally sure about that. Visa have said they want the
Olympics to be "cashless" and seem to be pushing the adoption of
Paywave with the connivance of the ODA. They haven't got far yet but
I suspect you'll see some activity in the near future. There is an
article in this weeks Computing

not that it mentions TfL at all.

Every Olympic ticket comes bundled with a travelcard, apparently, so
there's no buying of fares required at all.

Except perhaps from taxis, but can the Olympic Committee force them all
to only take Visa, and only Paywave? I doubt it.
