But here comes Poll #16.

 

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?

Each event has an option "I WILL PASS THIS EVENT" for those who want to take part in the polls but don't want to vote in every event.

 

In Equestrian - Dressage - riders like Anky van Grunsven, who got more than one olympic gold, on two different horses, are considered as one option in our poll, otherwise their chances would be smaller because the votes could split.

 

In Rugby Sevens - Women's Tournament - bronze medal in our imaginary games is secured for France already.

Equestrian, Individual Dressage...I give up on that, I really have no clue as I don't like at all this thing (and therefore I don't follow it)...

 

Athletics, men's Decathlon...you can be Superman, you can be the first man over the 8000 points mark, the first man over the 9000 points mark, the most consistent man through the longest stint, the strongest but also the most unlucky man of an entire decade, but you just can't compete with the myth, the legend of  Jim Thorpe...

 

Athletics, women's Eptathlon...her record, her medals...there are quite a few really strong athletes in the list, but imho  Jackie Joyner-Kersee is still the best of them all pound for pound...

 

Mountain Bike, women's Cross-Country Race...the first woman to win the Olympic race and still the only one to win not once, but twice...no need to add anything else... Paola Pezzo is my pick...

 

Rugby, women's 7's Tournament...I'm passing this one because of the same reason of the men's tournament...and even more in this case 'cause it's a sport with so few people practicing at the top level that's truly a mistery why it's in the Olympic program...
