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?

here we go...back to basics!

men's Alpine Skiing, Super-G...despite :NOR K.A. Aamodt won 3 times, Hermann Meier is da man, the best SG specialist of all times...I have to go with him

women's Alpine Skiing, Super-G...very difficult choice, as we have to compare different ages in this discipline, starting from basically a slightly faster GS and coming to basically a DH with a few more turns...I go with the GOAT in the modern era kind of SG, Lara Gut-Berhami

men's Biathlon, Pursuit...given that the best biathlete ever hasn't won a pursuit gold yet, my sympathy goes to the other Norwegian great, Ole Einar Bjoerndalen (despite :FRA M. Fourcade has 2 wins against 1 in this particular discipline)

women's Biathlon, Pursuit...she's only won once, but she's the undisputable GOAT in this game, so the obvious choice is Magdalena Neuner

women's Short Track Speedskating, 500m...Arianna the GOAT, 4 consecutive times on the podium, Gold in the last 2, Arianna Fontana is the only possible choice

I disagree with Fontana being the only possible choice here, :CHN Wang Meng was absolutely dominant in her 2006 and 2010 wins, would have been a contender again in 2014 but for injury and also has accomplished much, much more than Fontana in world championships (Fontana has never won the world championships over 500m, while Meng has won it six times).

The only blemish on Meng’s career is that she never came back after her ankle injury.

yeah, but you know...I'm a bit biased when it comes down to Arianna
