This is always a subject during the Olympics so thought I'd start it up on RSS.
My opinion is the definition of athlete is multi-disciplined. Second, u have to be able to be world class in certain abilities such as running, quickness, jumping, hand-eye coordination, and strength. For me, Jim Thorpe and Bo Jackson top my list.
So when I hear Usain Bolt and Michal Phelps as best athletes I laugh as I don't believe they could perform decently in any other discipline.
What say u?
