I think to qualify, it has to be a relatively popular sport.


devon06atX   Canada. Feb 08 2014 12:58. Posts 5458

So, no, Ole doesn't qualify.

edit - before you continue this story, I have to tell you. No one from any Scandinavian country qualifies for greatest of all time.

Shit, I'm from a country that produces a high amount of elite athletes considering our population, and I can only think of one athlete that could possibly even be mentioned in this race.

And I don't think he even holds a candle to the GOAT.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us and as we let our own lights shine we unconsciously give other people permision to do the same

Looking at the first post carefully, can think of no one that fits this description, perhaps I don't follow that many sports.

There have been people dominating a sport for 10-20 years but there was someone before or after them in another era that had similar domination and it is hard to say who was more impressive... Looking at F1 - Schumacher was THE monster in his prime which lasted so many years (regardless if he was ready to sometimes cross the sportsmanship line) but when we look back we have Clark, Fangio... can't really claim that one of those was clearly the best, above the other ones. Prost and Senna I think similar in greatness to those three, but completely out of question because their careers partly overlapped and it was so obvious that neither dominated over the other

My work is of high quality, cheap and fast. Pick only two of those though.

not saying he is the GOAT in football but surprised no one has mentioned Jim Brown

my votes for overall GOAT in no particular order would be...


Michael Jordan
Michael Phelps
Mike Tyson
Tiger Woods

if I had to pick one, I'd take Jordan but I'm probably a bit biased with basketball being my favorite sport


Tyson seems like a terrible pick?

Hm.. Off-suite socks..

I feel its like Starcraft broodwar, if people knew all the technique, work etic and effort put into doing what they do.

And it's insane amount of competition, all of northern, west europe, russia, tcheckia or how you spell it, sweden, tons of countries, canada too.

And we call him "The 24 hours athlete", because he's never of the clock, feel it's much more impressive than most of the people mentioned in the thread.


devon06atX   Canada. Feb 09 2014 11:31. Posts 5458

Only reason I said I didn't think he's a contender is because it's not a popular sport at all imo. Growing up, I've never known one person to practice ski shooting. Not one. Nor have I ever heard of one competition, and I've lived lots of places in this massive country.

It might be popular where you live, but it's difficult to compare someone who absolutely dominates at a sport that doesn't have nearly as many athletes competing in it, as opposed to say... running, boxing or tennis. It's kind of like comparing some kickass free face rock climber (who does that, really?) to a sprinter.

I personally find it ridiculous that people even mention F1 drivers as the GOAT as well. I mean, c'mon.

All that being said, I gotta say - Ole is one amazing guy. I can't imagine the discipline that crazy fella has, but good on him. I'm glad he won.

I think both Ole and probably Bjørn Dæhlie is at least top 100 or something. Norway is dope when it comes to winter sports. They can't play hockey for shit for some reason, but anything you can do on a mountain they do better then anyone else per capita lol.

definitely not #1, but just another guy worth mentioning.

freestyle wrestling is more popular than greco roman. and saitiev is likely the best ever. his brother also had a very successful career: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Saitiev

Oh, there's a woman too, she got the first Gold Medal in this Winter Olympics, Marit Bjørgen.

I remember some years ago, they claimed she trained x2 as much as the person who trained the 2nd much, proper beast.

Top psychiatrists for mental game, top weight lifters to get strong, top of the line in everything, and training absurd amount, almost every waking hour for months on end.

And she turned into some beast, just crushing, look at some of the pictures in here:

"Back in the old days" the skiiers didn't lift weight, and build on muscles, but they started doing it last few years, maybe more than the last few years, and it doesn't seem to have any drawbacks, u just become more of a beast, so people wanting to keep up need to do that as well now
