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?

1. and 2. I passed on those events, as this is one of the very few disciplines I don't follow even during the Olympic Games 

 

- Speedskating, men's Team Pursuit...here I'm totally biased.

sureley it wasn't the best ever performance by a team, on the other hand, it was maybe the best performance by an individual (Enrico Fabris) winning a team event (almost) all by himself  

so, my choice is very much a Home call,  Italy 2006

 

- Speedskating, women's Team Pursuit...here I'm going with the true spirit of these polls...the most impressive single performance by a team in this event, so I think I have to choose  Japan 2018, as their superiority was probably not to be equalled in quite a while

 

- Short Track Speedskating, men's 5000m Relay...it's another Home call, maybe...but in this case I'm more than convinced that it was also the best single performance of a team in this event, despite Canada have put on such a rock solid tradition and won more gold medals than anyone else

my choice is, once again,  Italy (1994...waiting for the 2026 replay of those great memories )
