After a short break, we're back with our polls.

 

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?

Athletics, women's 400m...well, Cathy Freeman's gold in Sydney was very emotional not only for herself...on the other hand, Marita Koch probably will never be beaten by a true woman, but I refuse to pick one of dirtiest symbols of the dirtiest sports fraud ever...

therefore, my choice is  Marie Josè Perec, the true queen of the killing lap...

 

Swimming, men's 100m Fly...Michael Phelps won 3 times, but he's never been a pure specialist of this race, Caeleb dressel's record is something out of this world...

but I have to pick  Mark Spitz, because that was his special race and because without him and his 1972 performance, no Phelps, Lochte or Dressel of this world would have even tried to swim so many races in a single meet with that intensity and effectiveness as they have...

 

Swimming, women's 10km...since Viola Valli, the strongest specialist ever couldn't even swim her race at the Olympics (she stopped her career before the event was included in the Olympic program) and we have just a few Olympic Champions to compare,  I pass on this event...

 

Diving, women's 10m Platform...well, here I don't have any doubt...it can be a springboard, a platform, a rock in the middle of the Ocean...1, 3, 5, 10 or 30 meters...

 Fu Mingxia is the one and only GOAT of women's diving and therefore she's my pick...

 

Canoe Sprint, men's C1 1000m...here my pick is  Sebastian Brendel, the only man to double up the gold medal in this discipline in modern times...
