Rulon Gardner is an Olympic athlete, gold medallist in fact. He was the
Greco-Roman wrestler who defeated the heavily-favored Russian defending
champion to win the super heavyweight division. It was perhaps the biggest
upset of the games - even more unlikely than Kenteris winning the 200m.
After the games Gardner, whose day job is as a farmer in small town in
Wyoming, made the rounds of the TV talk shows. He had a very appealing
personality, and I'm not at all surprised to see him on the list.
