    hypothetical olympic question

    You can choose any olympian in a contest for 1 million against 7 other olympians.

    Random olympic sport, you dont know which it is, or who they are against, just that no one from said sport would be eligible. No team sports could be picked, but those players would be eligible as your pick.

    Who do you pick?

    would have to know the % chances of each sport being picked

    it could be 40% swimming, and you take usain bolt and he is afraid of water

    or you take phelps and he is too high to fire a gun accurately

    Ashton Eaton and it's not even close. He's the best in at least 10 different events. No other Olympic athlete is good at more than like 2 or 3 events. Even Phelps is basically only good at two things, butterfly and freestyle events and he has the most medals ever. Eaton is guaranteed to be good at anything involving running, jumping, throwing or balance related. That's most things in the Olympics besides like swimming or water polo but you said the event would be completely randomly selected, so I'll take my chances.

    Yeah, your best shot overall would be Eaton. When you're that good in that many events, he's probably pretty good at unknown shit as well. It's like taking Bo Jackson.
