But here comes Poll #18 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 ready for a special double Easter Holidays poll this weekend

 

Including some iconic events like: Men's and Women's 100m in Athletics, Men's and Women's 100m Freestyle in Swimming, Men's Cycling Road Race and others...

[phelps 6,795]

my picks...

 

Swimming, men's 200m Fly...who else? I think this is one of the most obvious picks so far...

it's the winningest athlete in the history of sport,  Michael Phelps...

 

Swimming, women's 200m Backstroke...one of the classiest swimmers of all time, capable of winning gold medals as baby girl and as a true woman... Krisztina Egerszegi...

 

Rowing, men's Single Sculls...this is one of the event with the richest history of the Olympics, more than 100 years of glory with many great champions...

not an easy choice, but imho nobody has yet equalled the true GOAT,  Perrti Karppinen...

 

Canoeing, men's 1000m...in a discipline heavily marked by the Scandinavians, I feel I have to go with the only man winning 3 gold medals,  Gert Fredriksson...

 

Sailing, men's Skiff (49er)...looking at the results all this sailor have reached outside the single Olympic event, it's a close battle between Outteridge and Burling, but I feel I have to pick  Peter Burling, the man with most wins other than the Olympics (considering also other classes)...
