You can still vote in Poll #8. https://totallympics.com/topic/12948-imaginary-summer-olympics-poll-8-athletics-mens-1500m-swimming-womens-50m-freestyle-triathlon-mens-individual/ But here comes Poll #9 already. 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? Be aware that the voting ends on Saturday March 19th, 8 p.m. CET. These pollls are like event start lists, who would win, what you think? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Olympic_medalists_in_field_hockey#Women https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Olympic_medalists_in_archery#Individual https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Olympic_medalists_in_shooting#Rapid_fire_pistol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Olympic_medalists_in_triathlon#Individual_2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Olympic_medalists_in_golf#Men's_individual As I wrote here earlier, I think the best solution for the team sports (like women's hockey), for the purpose of these polls, will be that we won't compare two or more gold medal olympic teams from one NOC with each other. Instead, we can think which NOC which has previously won at least one gold in certain team sport event should win in our imaginary games. And that means we could think of e.g. Australia women's hockey team for our imaginary games as a team of all the best players from Seoul 1988, Atlanta 1996 and Sydney 2000 teams altogether. This could be interesting. Below you can find our results summary and medal table. Let's vote then!

ehh... I ended Poll #8 prematurely, but it's corrected now. Sorry.

In case anyone's interested, here are the all-time top lists of our two athletics and swimming events. https://www.worldathletics.org/records/all-time-toplists/middle-long/1500-metres/outdoor/men/senior?regionType=world&page=1&bestResultsOnly=true&firstDay=1900-01-01&lastDay=2022-03-16 https://www.fina.org/swimming/rankings?gender=F&distance=50&stroke=FREESTYLE&poolConfiguration=LCM&year=all&startDate=&endDate=&timesMode=BEST_TIMES&regionId=all&countryId=

Grazie mille! :-)

Spoilers: next poll will be: Hockey - Women’s Tournament Archery - Men’s Individual Shooting - Men’s Rapid Fire Pistol @Sindo is there a chance to change the settings here so I could make 5 questions in one poll, to speed up things even more? 😉

I have some problems with team sports (which start from the next poll) as well. But I think the best solution, for the purpose of these polls, will be that we won't compare two or more gold medal olympic teams from one NOC with each other. Instead, we can think which NOC who has previously won at least one gold should win in our imaginary games. And that means we could think of e.g. Argentina men's football team for our imaginary games as a team of all the best players from both Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008 teams. This could be interesting.

Yes, I have the same problem with these polls here. But these "mark" sports - athletics and swimming above all - are the "golden circle" of the games for me so they can't be missed. We know who is WR holder in men's 1500m but maybe Nurmi could run faster when he had access to all the XXI century training methods and equipment...

And to spice things up, I promise that in the next poll I will introduce the first TEAM SPORT!!! I have some ideas how to organize the polls in team sports in this series, I wonder if you like it. Stay safe!

Time to get SERIOUS about these pols Time to include ATHLETICS and SWIMMING in them. Of course, one may say that we can just check everyone's PBs and we know who should be 1st, 2nd and 3rd. But... Let's start with 1500m. Maybe in our imaginary olympics the pace will not be so strong at first two laps and the guys with the best finish will have more chances. Or some of our favourites stumble (I don't wish this to anyone, obviously). Or... and that's the most interesting question in these polls so far, from my perspective, how fast the old champions would be if they had the access to the XXI century training methods??? The same with 50m freestyle. We know who has the best PB. But... this is 50m, things happen in a moment, maybe the fastest ones will get nervous, maybe their final strokes will not be that good? ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN IN OUR IMAGINARY OLYMPICS. Let's vote!

You can still vote in the Poll #7: https://totallympics.com/topic/12932-imaginary-summer-olympics-poll-7-tennis-womens-singles-badminton-womens-singles-table-tennis-mens-singles/ But here comes Poll #8 already. 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? Be aware that the voting ends at Wednesday March 16th, 8 p.m. CET.

In next poll there will be first athletics and swimming events. I know we can just check everyone's PBs and the results should be obvious. But this whole thing is just for fun, so why not try it? :-)
