Question

Who is the best athletes at Olympic Beijing this year??

Answer 1

since you said 'athletes' I say shawn johnson, phelps, bolt...

Answer 2

for me it is a coin toss between every athlete that competed and every athlete that tried to qualify!

While there have been some amazing individual performances comparing from one discipline to another is impossible and comparing medallists to people who achieved personal bests, or overcame adversity to achieve something is just too much!

I say they are all fantastic.
