Okay, so I’ve been seeing this “most athletic people in the world” thing pop up all over my feeds, and I got curious. I mean, who really are the most athletic people? It’s not as simple as just picking the fastest runner or the strongest lifter, right? So, I decided to do my own little deep dive.
My Little Experiment
First, I brainstormed. What does “athletic” even mean? I figured it had to be a mix of stuff like:
- Strength
- Speed
- Endurance
- Agility
- Coordination
- Flexibility
- Power
Then, I started listing out different sports and activities. Think, like, marathon runners, Olympic gymnasts, NBA players, rock climbers, even those crazy obstacle course racers. I wanted a wide range to see who came out on top.
Next, I hit the internet, because, let’s be real, I’m not exactly an expert on every sport. I looked up things like “world records,” “championship performances,” and “physical demands of [sport].”I watched some videos of different athletes in action. Just to see what it takes to be the best of the best.
The results weren’t totally shocking. I will share some of the highest frequency names with you
- Bo Jackson.
- Jim Thorpe.
- Usain Bolt.
- Michael Jordan.
- Simone Biles.
I realized it’s super subjective. But that’s the fun part, right? It sparked some good discussions with my friends, and we all had different opinions. That’s the beaty of sports.
My conclusion from my little experiment is that when you look at people who excel in multiple areas – not just one thing – that’s where you find the true “most athletic” individuals. The folks who can push their bodies in all sorts of * you can find many great athletic guys.
