Well we will have to see how Usain Bolt does this year. If he can win the 100m dash at the London Olympics he will become the second person to ever repeat in that event. And the first person who did it had a kind of BS race. So probably him or Andrew Reanolds, Reanolds being a pro skateboarder. If Bolt wins, him for sure because that would mean he is one of the most dominant sprinters ever, not to mention the fastest human since we started keeping track.

I think mine would be Russel Westbrook (OKC Thunder).
These athletes do not have to still be alive.

Hmmm. I am not the biggest sports fan and I don't know many players.

I cannot choose just one so here are a few: Shawn Johnson, Shaun Alexander, and Ryan Lochte.

Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera. Two really good players for the new York Yankees. Jeter has the most hits of any Yankee, over 3000. And Rivera has te most saves of any relief pitcher ever.

Eli Manning, Tim Tebow, Kevin Durrant, Or Tony Hawk
