Babe Didrikson Zaharias
Pick a sport. Didrikson probably could have crushed you at it. In 1932, Olympic rules stated that Didrikson could only participate in three events. It was an easy choice for her since she already held the world record in javelin, 80m hurdles, and high jump. She came home from the Games with two golds and a silver and turned her attention to golf, where she won 10 LPGA majors, including a Grand Slam in 1950. Oh, and she was also an All-American in basketball. Sadly, she never got a chance to excel at Slamball since she died 46 years before the sport’s debut.
