ESPN Top 100 Athletes of the 21th Century

[Inglewood Jack]

I wish they could have added one legged hopping, backwards/sideways running, skipping, high knees/bum kicks, and potato sack racing in 100m and 200m formats to help Bolt collect more medals.

Lol at the amount of Baseball players and the list being called athletes. Makes the list junk.

I don't know how golfers can be considered athletes. It would be like have a professional bowler, snooker, or dart player on the list.

1 glaring omission is Oleksandr Usyk

I do think competitions for precision can be counted as sports - darts, archery, bowling, snooker, they should all count. So is curling.

On the other hand, should equestrain, horse racing, car racing be considered sports?

F1 drivers are 20x the athletes of any of the people who play the pub games you listed. Or baseball players and golfers for that matter.

20th century, but check this out:

Jahangir Khan … greatest squash player ever:

Jahangir Khan was unbeaten in all competitive play for a record 555 consecutive matches from 1981 to 1986 & is the Guinness World Records holder for this 555-winning legacy as the longest winning streak by any athlete in any top-level professional sport.
