AnotherOlympicshave come and gone.
As we celebrate this year’s medalists, weaskedtheBuzzFeed Communityto share their pick for the GOAT of the games. Here are their choice athletes:
1.Usain Bolt
2.Michael Phelps
“Michael Phelps is just simply the GOAT of swimming.”
“Hell, if he had just completed in 2008 my answer would still be him.”
“He inspired me to swim and I got to lifeguard level by 12, only barred by the fact I had to be 18 to advance further.”
“He’s not only the best swimmer, but he has 28 total medals with 23 of them being gold. He still holds the record for being the most decorated Olympian.”
3.“Simone Bilesand Rebeca Andrade for this year’s Olympics.”
4.“Micheal Phelps and Kate Ledecky are my top favorites of the Olympics. As someone who has competitively swam since second grade, it’s incredible to see how fast they both can go. I also love seeing the techniques used so I can maybe try them out.”
5.Suni Lee
6.Kellie Harrington
7.Bobby Finke
8.Clara Hughes
9.Mijain Lopez
10.“Simone Biles and Léon Marchand for 2024. Usain Bolt and Nadia Comăneci for the past.”
11.Armand Duplantis
12.Stephen Nedoroscik
13.Simone Biles
“Simone Biles has dominated for so long in a sport that generally doesn’t let you compete for long. So she’s the best in my book.”
“I’ll base my response on who I think will still be looked back upon in 100 years as a person who elevated their sport in a way that is still being emulated. That title goes without question to Simone Biles. Mental health matters.”
