Bo Jackson. Think he was a two time state decathlon champ in high school and had world class speed and hops. Great arm also. Possibly only the 1500 would have given him trouble. Greatest athlete I've ever seen.

I'm not sure why we've been debating who the greatest in the event has been - it's Daley Thompson (setting a WR in a modern OG - who else has done that - modern starting in 1956)

err.... Bruce Jenner in Montréal?

Nikolai Avilov in Munich as well

Why, that would be Bill Brasky, of course.

Aren't there any tough questions?

This is too eeeeeeeeeeeeeeazy.
