Linford Christie in the 100 metre run.  He won gold at the 1990 Commonwealth Games, an Olympic Gold in 1992, and the World Championship a year later.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linford_Christie

Well, in fact, he did lose those finals. Sampras, for instance, has 14 Grand Slam titles...

he has his different way of getting ready for races. he can be a total ass but he's awesome. hes got an amazing skiing style and he just didn't show it at the olympics. maybe if tv networks showed more ski racing you would see how amazing he is.

No it wasn't.  Aside from his obvious flaws and divisive personality, his style of play will not flow with the european basketball that the US will have to play to win.  He is a slasher/driver, shoot first, maybe pass later type.  His passing skills are suspect and he isn't really effective in a half-court offense (no, driving to the basket does not count).\n\nThe reason why the last few Olympic teams have faltered is because they got the best players from the NBA, not the best players who would be suited to play the European game.  This time, it seems that they are trying to use more role-players, rather than just stocking talent.  Any successful team has stars and role-players.  I think it will work with this team.

Donovan Bailey (born December 16, 1967) is a former Canadian athlete.\n\nIn June of 1997 he raced against Michael Johnson in a 150m race at Toronto's SkyDome (now Rogers Centre), in a bid to truly determine who was the world's fastest man. He won $2 million for winning that race, in which Johnson pulled up lame at the 100m mark with an injured quadricep muscle.

Hey, are you Polish? Oh this is so exciting, somebody accually wants to know sth about him! You know, I think he just stopped playing, in 1988. Then he was a coach and a manager. I can't find any better answer. Take care!

I assume you mean "Carl" Lewis? Yes. in 1996, but he was NEVER world champ in the 200 meters. He won a Bronze medal in '93.\n\nBru, by 2000, Carl Lewis was 39 years old. By '96 he was already showing his age and his body was starting to break down. I don't think he would have won the LJ in those games as Ivan Pedroso's mark of 8.55 was better than Lewis's jump in Altanta's '96 Olympic games. \n\nIn fact, Lewis's last jump of over 28' was in '94, so by 2000, he was well past his prime.

Yes; he was the dog who found the original World Cup trophy after it had been stolen. He was being walked by his owner, and he went sniffing around a rubbish heap. This is what I've been told, anyway...

Yes he was, he played in the finals with Germany against Greece. They lost in that year and got second place. He even made the Europe all star team, along with T. Parker and A. Kirilenko

the under taker of the 90's did some amazing high flying stuff in the ring for a man of his size --- so i say him

As a pro Cus D Amato, as an amateur I don't know.  He was very talented even at a young age when he won the Olympic gold medal in 1952 Helsinki Olympics.

loved him in the last Olympics.  This Olympics...well, he is doing his "own thang", as they say.  I guess to each their own.  He has his own training styles, and while we may disparage for him for throwing this year's Olympics away, the U.S. team still did pretty well overall, and he has a chance to redeem himself in Canada.

Very difficult to break it down to one single event so, I'll give you my top 10 in order of peference:\n\n10.  Edwin Moses, who won gold medals in the 400-meter hurdles at the 1976 and 1984 Summer Olympics. Between 1977 and 1987, Moses won 107 consecutive finals (122 consecutive races) and set the world record  four times.\n\n9. Javier Sotomayor, who is the only man to exceed 8 foot in the (8'-½ in,2.45 meters ) in the High Jump, when  he set the world record on July 23, 1993 in Salamanca, Spain.\n\n8. Carl Lewis, matching Jesse Owens mark of 4 gold medals in a single Olympiad, the '84 Los Angeles Games.\n\n7. Carl Lewis, matching Al Oerter's feat of winning 4 gold medals for the same event in 4 consecutive Olympiads, when he won the long jump in the '96 Atlanta Games, matching his efforts in '84, '88 and '92.\n\n6. Michael Johnson winning both the 200m and 400m races in a single Olympics, during the 1996 Atlanta Games.  He easily captured the 400m Olympic title with a time of 43.49 beating Roger Black of Great Britain by almost one second. At the 200m final, Johnson achieved a peak speed of over 40 km/h (25 mph), and finished the race in 19.32 shattering the world record by a third of a second.\n\n5.  Al Oerter became the first track and field athlete to win consecutive gold medals for the same event over the period of FOUR Olympiads. Oerter, won the Discus thow at the '56, '60, '64 & '68 Olmpics.\n\n4. Jim Thorpe's perfomance at the 1912 Stockholm Olympics. Along with the decathlon and pentathlon, Thorpe contested the long jump and high jump as well, but his first event scheduled was the pentathlon. Thorpe was the class of the field, winning four events. He placed only third in the javelin, an event he had never done before 1912. \n\nThe same day he won the pentathlon gold, Thorpe qualified for the high-jump final. In that final, he placed fourth, and took seventh place in the long jump. Thorpe's final event was the decathlon, where tough competition from local favorite Hugo Wieslander was expected. But Wieslander was no match for Thorpe either, finishing some 700 points behind. Thorpe placed in the top four of all ten events.\n\n3. Jessie Owens. But not for winning the 4 Olympic Gold Medals in the 36' Games, but for an extraordinary day that took place a year earlier. In a span of 45 minutes on May 25, 1935 at the Big Ten Championships in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Owns tied the record for the 100 yard dash, set world records in the long jump, 220 yard dash, and 220 yard low hurdles. With the 220 times bettering the records for 200 meter equivalents, Owns set or tied SIX World record in less thane ONE hour.\n\n2. On May 6, 1954 during a meet between British AAA and Oxford University, Roger Bannister broke the 4-minute barrier;  with a time of 3 min 59.4. \n\n1. Bob Beamon's World record jump at the 1968 Mexico City Olymipic Games. Although Beamon was a favorite, his jump was completely unexpected.  From 1935 to 1968, the long jump world record had increased only 8.25" from 26' 8'-1/2 to 27' 4-3/4. With a single jump, Beamon added nearly 22" to the record in a single day.

well, this is his last world cup because he already retired himself after the Eurocup 2004 and now he said he is definitely out of soccer after the WC2006, he did a hard entry, in my opinion it wasnt for a yellow card but the referee decided to show him that one and as he carried one before from the last match he loses the next one and unless france wins next match then this one was his last match...

Very very good. He won the Olympics Gold Medal in Athens, scoring in every game.

Well in 2002 he won two Silvers for Slopestyle and half-pipe. So far this year he's "only" won a Gold for half-pipe.
