Ok Zack, who the hell are those guys? What sports do they dominate?
Jeremy Wariner is an US track and field athlete, the 400 meters. Has potential to break Michael Johnson's world record. Doesn't seem to have reached his full potential yet.
Stefan Everts competes in motocross bike. He's a Belgian who's been dominating that sport for more than a decade, winning everything, and making the sport totally boring with his dominance, everyone is so far behind.
He is retiring this year.
Everts doesn't get as much recognition, since his sport is quite small, most people in Sweden wouldn't know who Everts is, so don't feel bad about that.
More people would know who Wariner is though. Pretty respected after his accomplishments, although I suspect he still is in the shadow of his mentor and agent, Michael Johnson (yes,
that Michael Johnson). I predict he'll slaughter the 400 meter record next year at the T&F World Championships.
YIP
