Who you taking?
I think I’d go Westbrook over Tyreke but wish Russ was about 5 years younger. Tatis might compete.
Would be interesting as heck to me. Love watching the elite stars showing off their athleticism and talents.

DK probably wins every single Day 1 event.

I think Tyreke takes the 100 and LJ...Mitchell and Russ might give the LJ a run
I think the 400 would be damn interesting
I've often heard that it would be cool to watch an average Joe compete in the olympics to show just how ridiculous the elite athletes are. As such, I would like to see Joey Votto compete in each event.

He just ran against the Olympian’s in the 100 and held his own with a 10.37. He is 240 pounds. He likely is the fastest and biggest. So LJ shot put and the sprints are his. Not so much a HJ body

I thought about having a JV decathlon with Votto, Brady, Big Ben, Tacko Fall etc
Votto I’d guess 13.5 in the 100m, 14’8 long jump, 400 in 1:20, 1500 in 7:20, High Jump 4’4, discus 58 ft, shot 32 ft

I still highly doubt he could beat Tyreke in the 100

It’s hard to judge. Tyreke is just insane initially out of breaks, but they both top out around the same in pads. I think both in sprinting clothes, DK edges him slightly.
Raheem Mostert would be good when healthy.
Kenyan Drake could be pretty good.
Ben Roethlesberger in the 100M
When I was a kid, they used to have a TV show that actually did this. I forget what it was called....Superstars or something like that

There was another one called Pros vs Joe’s.

Go to 9 minutes to watch the 100
Tyreke’s senior year of high school he ran a 20.14 200 which was 6th fastest in US for any level that year.
10.19 100 and long jumped 23’10
I’m sticking with Hill over Metcalf in 100 and LJ.....and looking good for the 400
