Who would have won gold?

women's Hammer Throw...of course this can't be anything but a plebiscite for  Anita Wlodarczyk, but here I just want to honor the poor Kamila Skolimowska, who could have won a lot more medals if she wasn't gone too early...

however, my final choice is obviously Wlodarczyk...

 

men's Swimming 50m Freestyle...here my pick is "the Tsar", AKA  Alexandr Popov, one of the classiest swimmers ever...

 

Canoe Slalom, women's K1...here I go with  Stepanka Hilgertova, even if Kaliska is surely also among those who deserve a honourable mention...

 

Canoe Slalom, men's K1...here I'm totally biased, I go with  Daniele Molmenti...and to be honest, I think it's also a good choice overall, because in London he was so dominant and basically he's the only man winning the gold medal entering the competition as the main (if not the only) favourite until maybe Tokyo 2020...

 

Rowing, women's Single Sculls...here it's a no brainer,  Elisabeta Lipa is arguably the best female rower ever and I'm genuinely surprised that she got so few votes in this poll (maybe many people don't know how many gold medals she won on different boats and are influenced by the fact that she only rarely competed in the single sculls and therefore she won "only" a single Olympic Gold in that discipline)...
