thanks! yeah, I was sick during that period and I didn't spend any time in front of my PC...

 

but now I'm OK...

 

well, let's see...

 

Canoe Sprint, women's K4 500m...not an easy choice for me...most likely, the latest crews from Hungary are stronger, but I go with the longer streak of  Germany, also because many of those wins were led by Birgit Fischer, who I already picked in the individual event as the best female canoeist ever...

 

Cycling Track, men's Team Sprint...very much a British discipline for most of the times it has been contested, so I go with  Great Britain...

 

Fencing, women's Team Epee... France 1996 all the way, mainly because of Laura Flessel leading that great team...

 

Swimming, men's 4*100m Freestyle Relay...no brainer, the  USA are so far away from the rest of the field in this event (even if the 2012 France was really a great team and deserved to be mentioned for a consolation prize)...

 

Swimming, women's 4*100m Freestyle Relay...another no brainer...2016 & 2020  Australia were just on another planet (but also here, mention of honor for the 2008 Dutch girls, another truly great relay)...
