Re: T&FN Forum Official Favourite Athlete of All Time

Not sure how to proceed. I assume we are talking T&F athletes.
An athlete can be a favorite because of performance, personality or if personally known.
One's favorites may not be known to anyone else.
Dithering done, here is my list:

Can we revise our list ?

You can proceed however you choose, it's your personal favourites for whatever reason and yes i'm talking track and field :lol:

We might do best ever at a later date to get us through those cold winter nights

(you can revise your list right up untill i close entries, which will be when i get enough to make it worth while so come on everyone)

Re: T&FN Forum Official Favourite Athlete of All Time

I hadn't really thought about personall acquaintance as being a factor in deciding favourite athlete but of course it will come into play.

Everyone should choose exactly how they want to but the whole thing won't work too well if it's just a list of people's friends who aren't that well known to everyone else. So maybe we should concentrate on international athletes who have achievements we can all recognise and admire.

Otherwise we're going to have loads of people with just 1 vote

This is a workk in progress so i'm very open to ideas of how to make it work better

Re: T&FN Forum Official Favourite Athlete of All Time

What kind of time window are you proposing? This sounds like a lot of fun to do, but it might force me to do some thinking.

Re: T&FN Forum Official Favourite Athlete of All Time

No proposed time scale at the moment untill i get enough entries so maybe a couple of weeks !!

Re: T&FN Forum Official Favourite Athlete of All Time

Nice idea Mump!

Note: In putting this list together I realised that we're all likely to have our country and event biases. It may be an idea to limit number per country or event. Just a suggestion.

Re: T&FN Forum Official Favourite Athlete of All Time

^You need to send them via PM although you've reminded me of quite a few athletes I missed off my provisional list. :wink:

Re: T&FN Forum Official Favourite Athlete of All Time

Oops. Sorry!

Re: T&FN Forum Official Favourite Athlete of All Time

Any lists posted on the actual thread should be deleted.

A limit to how many athletes can come from1 country is a good idea. Maybe no more than 5?

Re: T&FN Forum Official Favourite Athlete of All Time

Interesting but requires some thinking. I personally know zero ex or current T&F athletes and am free of nationality influence

Gonna try

Re: T&FN Forum Official Favourite Athlete of All Time

Please PM me with lists don't post on here as it influences other votes. Also while i don't want to put any restrictions on people choices of favourites, please don't just select people all from 1 country, or we'll just have a list full of Americans.

We're all fans of and knowledgeable about all aspects of the sport so lets try and be as inclusive as possible in our choices. Think of people who've really provided us with our favourite athletic moments and not just those that we know or have met. There will obviously be an element of that but lets try and keep it to a minimum
