Who Is Your Favorite Olympian?

For me, it's Alexander Karelin, Greco-Roman Wrestler USSR/Russia. Super-intimidating man and 15 lbs when he was born. He tossed other wrestlers around like they were Asian spinners. The Experiment was a reign of terror. Rulon Gardner woulda never beat him in his prime.

I probably like him because he's like a monster from a Horror Film.

Wow, I just watched that video. It was almost like he was throwing little kids around, amazing strength.

He was frightening even when he was friendly. Fucking Missing Link of Siberia. A huge guy could spread himself out and deaden his weight and Karelin still picked him up and threw him on his head.

This is an easy question answer: Jesse Owens, both in the context of his times and thereafter.
