Poll #12

 

These are olympic champions in certain events.

Imagine that all these champions are on the top of their game at the very same moment in time.

Who would have won gold?

According to @Agger suggestion, from now on, each event has an option "I WILL PASS ON THIS EVENT" for those who want to take part in the polls but don't want to vote in every event.

Athletics, men's Pole Vault...here my pick is :UKR Sergey Bubka, despite the impressive stuff by Mondo Duplantis in the last few years...

right now, what Bubka represented for the discipline (and the whole sport) is still unmatched...we'll see in a few years if Mondo would be able to keep up with the pace he set...

 

Swimming, women's 400 IM...as @dcro wrote, :USA Tracy Caulkins was heavily hit by the 1980 (and 1984) boycott, since those Olympics are not taken into consideration as many others and because the other international events didn't have so much hype and coverage as it happens nowadays...

but she was truly a great swimmer...and pound for pound, I think she has quite the edge over the great Katinka, despite the many titles won and the many records established by the Hungarian...

 

Judo, women's -48kg class...my pick is :PRK Kye Sun-Hui, one of the most underestimated champions in the history of Judo...

if only she wasn't from PRK, she would have got a lot more "good press" and she would have been described closer to what she deserved, advantage that instead went to Ryoko Tani (still, another great judo player), who gets a lot more credits because of the "obscure" background of the girl who beat her when they faced each other in a global final...

 

Judo, men's -60kg class...well, that's a no brainer...:JPN Tadahiro Nomura is "the man" in this weight class...

when he was on top of his game, he put on clinic after clinic, taking Judo to perfection, he was simply the state-of-the-art expression of this sport...

 

Fencing, women's Sabre...where are Sofya Velikaya and Olga Kharlan?

really, I'm not joking...I just refuse to vote for any of those Olympic Gold medallists, who can't even be in the same sentence with the 2 best players in the history of the game, who never won the Olympic Gold they deserve only because of some inexplicable reason...

therefore, I'm sorry, but I have to go for the new option...:WHT I'm passing this question...:yikes:

Since I think this is one of the very few chances we have to make an "imaginary podium", I'm full team Pareto here :cheer: despite the japanese is objectively the best in the category. 

  

Unlike several on the list Paula was also world champion and has an additional olympic bronze medal.

2. Yana Klochkova UKR

JUDO - Men's Extra Lightweight (60kg)

 

1. Tadahiro Nomura JPN

2. Noahisa Takato JPN*

3. Beslan Mudranov RUS

3. Choi Min-ho KOR

 

Here was a tie for 2nd bronze medal (I had to pick sb from the athletes who all got 0 votes)

And there is * at Takato name because normally there should be one judoka from each NOC in each judo individual event. But these are imaginary olympics, so I have decided not to overcomplicate the results. In the world championships there would be 2 medals for one NOC possible in an individual event. I will leave * though, because when we finish all the events we may look at such cases again and check what the results would be if we use Paris 2024 qualification criteria.

 

FENCING - Women's Sabre Individual

 

1. Mariel Zagunis USA

2. Kim Ji-yeon KOR

3. Sofia Pozdniakova RUS

 

Here was a tie for 3rd place between two RUS athletes
