Poll #32.

 

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, men's Discus Throw...this is easy... Al Oerter is unmatched (and unmatchable, I guess).

 

Swimming, women's 800m Freestyle...Janet Evans was a great swimmer, but when you have to be compared with Katie Ledecky, you simply have no chance...

 Katie Ledecky is my pick, of course.

 

Trampoline...vade retro, Satan! I refuse to consider that a sport, get it back to Circus, where it owns...

 I pass on these events, obviously.

 

Diving, women's 3m Springboard...another easy choice... Fu Minxia is the best diver of all times, so she's my obvious pick...
