Default Greatest athlete of all-time
Posted By: Peter_Spaeth

I love off topic posts. Greatest pure athlete: Jim Brown and Bo Jackson. Bert Sugar in his book ranked Brown first as I recall. Greatest endurance athlete: Lance Armstrong and Lasse Viren. To win the 5K and 10K in successive Olympics (I think I have my facts right), and then to go on to finish 5th in the marathon two days later in 1976 -- there are no words.
