Can you tell me why you only include _Olympic_ gold medalists??? There would be quite several more gold medalists even if you'd include worlds. (*cough*Kurt Browning*cough*) Plus also in the older times there were competitors who did NOT win gold anywhere..... (may I add - they were often crowd pleasers)
And then - you are doing this list in the year BEFORE the olympic games. After Turino there will be again a whole set of new pros it seems....
