I don’t believe I can can be convinced someone that just runs can be considered an all time great athlete.
No actual skill is involved whatsoever. In today’s world the market determines your value and runners aren’t in the same stratosphere as other athletes in terms of compensation.
If what runners were doing was an amazing skill or feat they would be rewarded accordingly. And they are not.
You left out Wilt Chamberlain in your list above.
