I'm new to these polls. do you want to compare athletes from different Olympics? that will be a bit hard since they changed weights in wrestling so many times.

 

but in men's freestyle I would suggest a middle weight, 74-76kg. or you can go for the super heavyweight (if it was Greco-Roman I would surely suggest the supper heavyweight)

@phelps thank you for your ranking list again!!!

 

I agree with Flessel on top.

 

But why did you place Timea Nagy so low? She is the only one who is a double olympic champion in this event.

because someone has to go that low...:dunno:

 

I think from number #3 through #5 man could even give a tie, since all of those athletes have reached the immortal goal of winning the Olympic Games, but I also took into consideration their full career, and Nagy was less consistent than the other 2 in the other circuits (world cup, world champs), at least in the individual events (she won a lot of gold medals, but often in the team event)...

 

still, it's always my personal opinion...I do not pretend anybody to agree...and surely I'm not the "revealed truth" at all...;)

Yes, that's exactly the purpose of these polls!!!

I'll try to make around 10-15 polls like that and we'll see how it works and if people here are interested in them, we'll continue...

 

This is a kind of buildup to Paris 2024 so the plan is having exactly 329 events included, according to Paris 2024 programme.

 

https://stillmedab.olympic.org/media/Document Library/OlympicOrg/News/2020/12/Paris-2024-Event-Programme.pdf

 

And then we will have some kind of medal table and youtube video archives with our champs of the champs here.

 

You are right with changing weights in wrestling so many times. Trying to avoid this problem here, I will use this wikipedia list, showing current olympic program.

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Olympic_medalists_in_freestyle_wrestling#Super_heavyweight

 

The same with boxing, weightlifting and others...

 

And I obviously don't know much about many sports so if you're interested I will always look for your comments and suggestions in every poll, sports like wrestling, weightlifting, taekwondo, judo above all, if I remember your interests correctly

 

And I'm waiting for comments and suggestions from all the other users as well, ofc

Ok. Thanks for this one.

 

I like your ranking lists very much because when there's a tie, we need to find out how to decide who gets 1st, 2nd and 3rd places respectively.

 

For now, I think I will have to decide it by myself ;)

But I will always use your rankings and all the other users suggestions and rankings as an advice obviously

I have so many ideas about these series of polls.

I really hope they will turn into sth interesting and more users will get involved.

 

As I wrote here earlier, despite war and politics, we all need some kind of relief and joy and this is my idea for that.

 

My biggest concern for these polls so far is that my fav summer olympic sports are defenitely swimming and athletics.

And I would love to have these sports included in the polls.

But to choose the best olympic champion in the poll may make no sense if we probably should just look at their PBs and things should be obvious.

 

But on the other hand, why not try it.

Men's pole vault - would Duplantis win if he sees Bubka in his best form (not Barcelona 92 form) standing besides him? All the mind games, form of the day, dealing with pressure, we may take it all into the consideration here.

Would Bubka have jumped higher in his career if he had access to all the today's training methods and equipment???

 

I think those are interesting questions and I will add some athletics and swimming polls here soon as well.

 

Have a good weekend, everyone! Stay safe!

 

@Illya if you need any help for you or any Ukrainian friend or family in Poland, you can always write to me on priv. Stay safe, all the best wishes for you!

    • In cross-country there were never mixups like that. And trust me, the cross-country calendar/results page has been one of my most visited pages on all the internet for a few years now, for obvious reasons

    • More AI visualizations of the venues.         
    • I can count for you, but what I will say is that I don't think it was a lot. 
    • Off-topic, when I lived in Beijing there was a park across the street that had all the 2022 pictograms along its fence on the street. They were big and lit up at night. It was really cool, especially because the 2022 pictograms were very unique and creative. 
    • They're not very creative or unique to Italy/Milano, but like others have said, at least they're understandable unlike Paris. These are very generic, though. 
    • National law and sport rules are completely different. Like, there's a law in Canada that if you punch someone in the face you will get charged with battery. But if you're playing hockey and do it, you'll only get 5 minutes in a penalty box. Japan only recognizes gender at birth and this was not an issue in 2020(1).    Any law Trump and the Republicans pass can only apply to governmental organizations, i.e. school competitions. Private sport events, like the NHL, MLB and the Olympics, can still decided who can and cannot participate in what events. If the NHL wants a female goaltender to play, they can do that tomorrow if they want. If the IOC decides Semenya can participate in the female category, then that's their right as a private entity. I'm sure Hitler wasn't happy that Jews, black people and other groups were allowed to participate in 1936, either.    Of course, I've been saying for a long time they should do away with "male" and "female" categories and just have "Over/Under X amount of testosterone" categories. 
    • Yeah, if they have all their FTA* live streams on one page, announced in advance, life will be easier. Before you had to sub to about 7 or 8 YT channels to.know what was on every week.   But the results/events Page is also easier, because previously they used to mix up World Cup & say, Balkan Cup events together.
    • UWW's new rules for change of nationality   this doesn't look great for likes of Bahrain, Albania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Serbia and few more.    still it won't make a huge huge impact for the next Olympic cycle because each NOC still can use 2 mercenaries per style in each tournament but after 2028 it will be reduced to just 1.    some of those countries already have 3 or 4 (or more) Russian mercenaries per style. from now on they have to pick 2 of them for each tournament. I assumed the new rule applies to previous mercenaries too . https://cdn.uww.org/2024-11/change_of_nationality_regulation_eng_oct2024_final.pdf also you can't wrestle for another country without a passport. (UWW allowed that for some years) current non-national wrestlers can continue like that until the end of 2026 though.   it could be better but in general I'm OK with new rules. good job by UWW.
