“Far cry from 1980. IMHO Eric Heiden was the greatest US Olympian of all. Nobody dominated a sport like he did.”

Are you forgetting Edwin Moses? Heiden did it in one Olympics, Moses in multiple. UNDEFEATED in his specialty for ELEVEN YEARS!!

If Moses won the 100, 200, 880 and 10,000 meter events, then I would say he was on par with Eric Heiden.
