Early thoughts: i will vote for one of Aleksandra Mirosław (the one and only gold in Paris), Wilfredo Leon (best player in our volleyball team in Paris), Iga Świątek (another RG win but only Bronze in the Olympics) or Natalia Bukowiecka nee Kaczmarek ( the most valuable individual medal in Paris for me) 

How about Niewadoma?  A heroic TdF win.

Bookies favourite at the moment is Keely Hodgkinson 800m Paris, probably mine as well.  Although there were many great  golds, I think most people know that a gold in an historic athletics event is the most difficult of all.  Also, her final was absolutely at TV prime time, and the history is that most-watched event of the year usually wins. Also, there is usually a strong regional vote, and she is VERY typical of her region.

But she totally failed at the Olympics . And it’s more important to me.

Agree. That is why Natalia Kaczmarek is top 4 for me. No olympic gold but still a medal in historic athletics running event
