Olympians w/ Streets Named After Them

[tandfman]

How about Picabo Street?

[Cooter Brown]

There's a subdivision in Austin called "Olympic Heights". Every street is named after an Olympian...Bruce Jenner, Jim Thorpe, Mary Lou Retton, etc.

Stacy Dragila Way is the name of the road that surrounds Holt Arena in Pocatello.

There's a surreal moment during the "Sebastian Coe: Born to Run" video from the early '80's wherein Coe and a training buddy run past a Loughborgh (sic) street sign in the foreground named "Coe Avenue."

I added the given names, but not the Italian streets. I simply cannot find
them...

Still I don't know how to make the programm accessible for everyone, so
that we all can add and share. If someone knows how to organise that...

Dear Jurryt,

Just like Jan, I appreciate your interesting project and, moreover, I am
unable to put addings to your map....
Here in Florence, there's Piazza Gino Bartali (3-times winner of Giro,
2-times winner of Tour de France) and I know in Genoa there's Via Filippo
Emanuele Bottino (Olympic champion of Heavy Weightlifting in Antwerp 1920)
and I guess many other Italian sportspeople are honoured long cities of
Italy....

Yours friendly
Gherardo Bonini
