1. Marion Jones shines brightest among all Olympic athletes.
No one ever called her modest, but it is clear from the last two weeks that Marion Jones is one of the most dominant and charming female athletes ever. Not only does she win the 100-meter and 200-meter sprints by a margin larger than any other female in nearly 40 years, she also wins the gold in the 4x400m relay. She wins bronze in the long jump and 4x100m relay and would have had a fourth gold if two of her relay teammates had not been injured. In a word: dominant.
