National Girls and Women in Sports Day
To me, it's been very interesting, and frankly, amazing, to watch the growth in women's sports since the inception of Title IX. Led me to wonder who might be the best female athletes ever. Some names came to mind:
- Babe Didrickson Zaharias
- Billy Jean King
- Martina Navritilova
- Julie Lieberman
- Whoever the current world record holder in the heptathlon is
- Maya Moore
- Katie Ledecki
- Olga Korbut
- Nadia Comenici
- can you think of others.
- It's interesting to me that no decathlon guys were mentioned in the lists of world's greatest male athletes. Names like Raefer Johnson and later world record holding decathletes seem deserving of at least a mention - they are, with good cause, often referred to as the world's greatest athlete.
It's also National Frozen Yogurt Day. Enjoy.

Zaharias was definitely the Jim Thorpe of her day, or maybe Thorpe was the Zaharias of his day
How about Georgia's own Teresa Edwards, 2-time All-American and 4-time Olympian?
Also, since some folks included coaches on the GOAT thread, I'll give the late Pat Summit a nod here.
Was going to say the same thing about pat
