Which is harder winning a Heisman or winning an olympic gold medal?

If you're very good at football but not at any sport in the Olympic games, then winning a Heisman is easier. If you're very good at a sport that is part of the Olympic games, then the gold medal is easier. It's kind of a pointless question in the first place, but to put things in perspective: every four years, there a few hundred Olympic gold medals given out (between both the winter and summer games). There are exactly four Heisman trophies given out in that same period.


Why did Muhammad Ali throw his Olympic gold medal in the Ohio river?

He threw it in because he went into a restaurant with his medal on. If you won any gold medals you were considered amazing in your local community. He went in and the manager said "We don't accept black people." He then went to the Ohio River and threw the medal in. It has never been found.
