If you have to make a podium of Olympic gold medallits, which gymnasts would you include? And for silver and bronze medallits?

I have a couple problems with this 1) Do you want me to make a ranking based on what my favorite gymnasts are or “objectively” in their gymnastics? 2) If you prefer the second option, do you want me to judge their Olympic performances or their careers overall?

Using the logic I have guessed it is imposible to judge “objectively” gymnasts coming from such different eras, it is very difficult to compare them even from a subjective perspective, so I’m taking that interpretation. So yes, I know I am being shamelessly subjective and I will need the use of ties.

Ranking of gold Olympic champions:

1) Marina Lobatch

2) Alexandra Timoshenko

3) Margarita Mamun - JuliaBarsukova.

Ranking of Silver medalists:

1) Yana Batyrchina

2) Yana Yudryavtseva

3) Carolina Pascual - Irina Tchachina.

Ranking of bronce medalists:

1) Elena Vitrichenko - Ganna Rizatdinova

3) Anna Bessonova - Oksana Skaldina.

Disclaimer 1: Both Alina Kabaeva and Alexandra Timoshenko have two different medals (gold and bronce), so I am considering both only in the the Gold medal category.

Disclaimer 2: I will be forever bitter that gymnasts such as Dilyana Georgieva, Aneila Ralenkova, Galina Beloglazova or Lilia Ignatova never had the chance of competing in LA 1984 and becoming the first ever RG Olympic champion.

Disclaimer 3: Seriously, LA 1984 was rigged, can we just pretend it didn’t happen?

Disclaimer 4: Having said all that, there are also plenty of gymnasts who are among the best in history and do not have a single Olympic medal. Gymnasts as Bianka Panova, Oksana Kostina, Larissa Lukyanenko, Maria Petrova, Olga Gontar or Natalia Lipkovskaia deserved better than 75% of the medalists in my rankings, to be honest.

Disclaimer 5: Yes, I despise mostly everything that took place in between 2001 and 2010 RG-wise.
