If this has been said before, excuse me. The 100
greatest list is compiled by US writers & fans, and is heavily biased toward
sports popular in the US. Given the world population, it is very likely that ,
in fact, a very large % of the ACTUAL 100 greatest are unknown outside their
immediate cultural area. I'm sure that there have been Gaelic footballers,
hurlers, weightlifters, Graeco-Roman wrestlers, judoka, and yes, rikishi, whose
athletic skills match or surpass the Jordans, Ruths, Paytons, etc who will
dominate the list.
