Question

Who is your favorite Olympian (name up to 3) Is it based on skill, attractiveness, race, personality, age etc?

Answer 1

1.) Jim Thorpe - greatest and most versatile athlete who ever lived

2.) Cassius Clay - the very beginning of his political clashes that would define his career

3.) Roman Sebrle - current decathlon champion (5 of last 7 years)

Answer 2

1. Usain Bolt - because I'm Jamaican, he's Jamaican and so on

2. Micheal Phelps - He is awesome, really admire his skill, he is the greatest swimmer.

3. hmm....can't say....there are a few, but don't remember there names.

Answer 3

My favorite Olympian is Cullen Jones.

I admire him for the work he does.  After nearly drowning and coughing up a pint of water as a child, he learned how to swim (and found out he was pretty good at it too!) and now is helping to implement programs to teach children, especially minorities, how to swim.

Answer 4

Michael Phelps - He works hard, is an incredible swimmer, represents the US in a respectful manner, is humble in light of his being named "the greatest Olympian of all time", loves his mother and is close with his family, and is an attractive guy and fun athlete to watch.

Ryan Lochte - He's a good swimmer, and a fellow UF Gator!

Dara Torres - She sets a great example to women, is a strong competitor that shows sportsmanship and perseverance. And she looks lovely at 41.  

They'll all white, but that has nothing to do with anything. I don't like Shawn Johnson and was blown away by Usain Bolt in men's track and field.
