Who is the best 100m athlet in Olympics?

Answer 1

The best athlete is a subjective question and therefore cannot be answered. The reason for this is no two athletic events are the same (in the swimming events the answer would be easier as many top swimmers take part in many different events) - it is impossible to compare a 100m sprinter to someone that walks 50km or to a pole vaulter? However a decathlete who takes part in 10 different events (many to world class standard) over 2 days could be described as the best "all round athlete".

Answer 2

Through the 2008 Games in Beijing:

Total Medals: 18 (9 gold, 5 silver, 4 bronze) by gymnast Larissa Latynina of the USSR.

Total Gold Medals: 14 by swimmer Michael Phelps of the US.
