So since we are all skiers here im assuming that most, if not all, of our favorite athletes are skiers. Thought it would be interesting to find out people's favorite non-skiing athletes.

Me personally would have to go with Torstein. Alright i get it, snowboarders suck, but i got mad respect for him. First guy to land a triple cork in a comp, cant get enough of those games of "In Your Face" on youtube, and an overall good guy with a good sense of humor

Alright so whats your favorite non-skiing athlete? Any sport...

This has been a gangster ass thread! People have good taste in sports!

Carlos Tevez (I am West Ham so he's my favorite footballer of all time I seriously fuckin love him), Wilfork (wanted to go to the U in high school and tried to buy his jersey when I toured it I've loved big Vince well before his Pats days), and Rondo all getting shouts out already!

Manny Ramirez is the only other athlete I love as much as those 3.

I came here to say Peaty^. He's the fucking man. Almost 40 years old and still getting top 10s. Plus he's super chill and easy to talk to.

Also, Danny Hart slays shit

David Rudisha. He's the current world record holder in the 800m. Being a mid distance runner myself, I have nothing but respect for those guys who bust their asses to be world class runners.

Here's a video of him breaking the 800m record in London. race starts at 3:15
