Judo - Women's Extra Lightweight (48 kg)

Judo - Men's Extra Lightweight (60 kg)

Fencing - Women's Individual Sabre

[phelps 7,664]

Swimming, women's 200m Freestyle...don't tell me I'm biased (because it's obvious that I am), but  Federica Pellegrini is by far the best specialist of this specific race in the history of the sport...

 

Tennis, men's Singles...where are Rod Laver and Roger Federer? I'm joking, of course...

however, in absence of the only 2 guys who could have given him a scare,  Rafael Nadal is quite an obvious choice, here...

 

men's Beach Volleyball...well, it doesn't matter that much if it's on the hard court or on the sand or who were his teammates,  Karch Kiraly is the best male volleyball player ever, so I just can't pick anybody else...

 

women's Beach Volleyball...once again, it's a no brainer...Kerry & Misty have been just amazing for such a long stint...they've been truly untouchable for years...

so,  Kerry Walsh & Misty May are my (obvious) choice...
