Time for Event #4 in our IMAGINARY SUMMER OLYMPICS series.

 

These are olympic champions in certain event.

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 Sunday March 6th, 9 a.m. CET.

 

These pollls are like event start lists, who would win, what you think?

not an expert, but :CHN Lin Dan is the name I heard the most as the GOAT among the male specialists...2 Olympic titles, many World and Asian Gold medals to be added, long time no.1 in the world...

 

I guess nobody could even get close to him when he was on top of his game...

I picked Lin Dan. I remember watching him play in the late 2000's and start 2010's, and he was almost unstoppable. Two Olympic titles and went to win the 2008 Olympic gold medal without losing a set. Not the only player who has achieved this, but still impressive. Lin Dan, at his best, was probably the best ever men's singles' player in badminton history.

I think we need to speed up a bit.

At this rate, we will not make the polls for all 329 events before real Paris 2024 olympics get started.

 

So this polls ends on Sunday morning CET.

And after that there will be 2 or 3 polls every week and there will be 3 events in each poll.

 

Do you think it's a good idea? Let me know.

 

And god bless :UKR civilians.

@SindoI have written here before that this week I will prepare another series of polls here, a kind of contest for users, with predicting the results of certain events, points to get for it, sth similar to what I've done during Beijing games.

 

But unfortunately, due to a lot of work at the court, and being quite involved in some activities helping Ukrainian refugees here in Poland, I am not able to do it.

I will do it later when things settle down.

 

For now on, I'll stick to the imaginary olympics series, maybe it's not the best moment for this either, but I also need some kind of relief and joy these days. So I will keep making these polls even if not many users vote in them.

 

Have a good day everyone,

stay safe.

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
