Your Choice is Difficult"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Last Call for Answers: Who Is the Greatest Female Swimmer in History? Your Choice is Difficult<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In some sports, selecting the greatest athlete in history is not a difficult task. <strong>Michael Phelps<\/strong> is the undisputed king of the pool, while <strong>Wayne Gretzky<\/strong> knows no peer on the ice. In other sports, debates can be held. On the basketball court, <strong>Michael Jordan<\/strong> might be the consensus choice, but <strong>Wilt Chamberlain<\/strong> and <strong>LeBron James<\/strong> have their supporters. Who is the choice on the football field? <strong>Jim<\/strong> <strong>Brown<\/strong>? <strong>Joe Montana<\/strong>? <strong>Tom Brady<\/strong>? Someone else?<\/p>\n<p>The point is, debate is part of sports and when it comes to choosing the greatest female swimmer in history, the decision is not as clear-cut as it is on the men\u2019s side. An argument for the top spot can be made for several women \u2013 six to be precise \u2013 and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Swimming World<\/a> is hoping its readers will weigh in on the topic and provide some feedback.<\/p>\n<p>Now, we could devise a poll to have this question answered, but the statistical data produced through that process would not allow for deeper input. So, we are asking readers to use the comments section to identify their picks for the greatest female swimmer in history and explain (briefly) their reasoning. To give the readers some options, here is an alphabetical list of the six women generally considered the best of the best. However, feel free to select someone else if you are guided in that direction.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tracy Caulkins<\/li>\n<li>Krisztina Egerszegi<\/li>\n<li>Janet Evans<\/li>\n<li>Dawn Fraser<\/li>\n<li>Shane Gould<\/li>\n<li>Katie Ledecky<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Since this exercise is one that targets those with an appreciation of the sport, we are not including accomplishments. For one, we do not want to sway anyone by deciding what is and is not included for each individual&#8217;s career accolades. Second, we respect your knowledge and ability to research or contemplate what you already know.<\/p>\n<p>So, put together a short argument for your favorite. We will let a few days pass, and once we have some comments, we will share a handful of the submitted selections and commentaries. Thanks for participating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last Call for Answers: Who Is the Greatest Female Swimmer in History?
