  • 2 All Around (General Classification aka Yellow Jersey)
  • 2 Climbers
  • 1 Sprinter
  • 3 Unclassified
  • 1 Wild Card
Here goes:

  • Two All Around: Nadia Comaneci and Nikolai Andrianov - decided to go old school here.
  • Two Climbers: Alex Honnold (I mean Free Solo has to be here) and Reinhold Messner (arguably the best Mountaineer of all time)
  • 1 Sprinter: Jesse Owens - Legend beyond just sprinter
  • 3 Unclassified: I wasn't sure how to take this. So lets go obscure: Joey Chestnut (best eater of all time), Man O' War (just a cool name and arguably best race horse of all time), and Andre the Giant (I mean why not).
  • 1 Wild Card: Gotta be Dennis Rodman. Does it get any more wild card than that?

Beat that!

So you couldn't find a spot for Lance Armstrong? Also, Man O' War is a better name but not a better race horse than Secretariat.
