Poll #12 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? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Olympic_medalists_in_athletics_(men)#Pole_vault https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Olympic_medalists_in_swimming_(women)#400_metres_individual_medley https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Olympic_medalists_in_judo#Extra_lightweight_2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Olympic_medalists_in_judo#Extra_lightweight https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Olympic_medalists_in_fencing_(women)#Sabre,_Individual According to @Agger suggestion, from now on, each event has an option "I WILL PASS ON THIS EVENT" for those who want to take part in the polls but don't want to vote in every event.

I have a very mixed feelings about it. I will miss Barty and got a feeling that she comes back soon. But due to this thing Iga may be first ever Polish tennis Number One. 👍 Still, it would taste much better when she would get the 1st spot after beating Barty in French Open final after epic match. But - congrats to both of them!

Thanks @Agger this is a really good advice. From the next poll in Imaginary Summer Olympics polls there will be "I'll pass this event" option.

If we compare PBs only, the results would be: Athletics - Women's Hammer Throw 1. Anita Włodarczyk POL 82.98 2. Kamila Skolimowska POL 76.83 3.

Waiting for your decision.

Of course, it is. But it is just for fun, so... I don't know, at the moment I wonder if I should continue this series of polls or if I should abandon it and come back to it after we finish the Imaginary Summer Olympics series, which should be around October, I guess. October will be more or less after the first post-olympics summer sports season and our Paris 2024 polls may be more interesting then. But there were a few voters in this series, so I'm waiting what people say right now...

The idea to have all the predictions for who-will-qualify for Paris 2024 is very interesting. But this would be too much work for me. I won't have time for such a project, sadly. So let's focus on predicting THE PARIS 2024 OLYMPICS CHAMPIONS for now.

Nope. We choose the gold medalist here in these polls. And when I count all the votes, we will have a potential silver and bronze medalists as well - like in Imaginary Summer Olympics series.

SPOILERS: Poll #12 will be: Athletics - Men's Pole Vault Swimming - Women's 400m Individual Medley Judo - Women's Extra Lightweight (48 kg) Judo - Men's Extra Lightweight (60 kg) Fencing - Women's Individual Sabre

SPOILERS: Poll #3 will be all 5 relays in athletics.

THE QUESTION IS SIMPLE - WHO WILL WIN A CERTAIN EVENT IN PARIS 2024???

There is a four-men-tie for 2nd and 3rd places in swimming. Anyone wants to break it?
