Pete Sampras, Zidane and Muhammad Ali I would change from your list OP
Cricket and Rugby I don't know nothing about, although I used to watch a cricket little when I was a kid, Graham Thorpe comes to mind. |

Given that at the time they employed Vince Russo, I think not.
Plus most of those mentioned never really followed the script or were given one all they were given was a few basics and did the rest themselves. |

Shows how good some of them were to make Russo's crap look half creadable.

One of the most dominant in their chosen sport was Aleksandr Karelin. He won 3 consecutive Olympic golds and the world championships in Greco-Roman wrestling 10 years in a row.

Professional wrestlers have typically always worked out the sequence in the ring between themselves, but the build up to and outcome of each match is decided by the booker and other creative writers isn't it?

Ed Moses was really dominant at the 400m hurdles in the 80s (maybe into the 90s too?). Won a ridiculous amount of races in a row. |

Of course some also have creative control (They can refuse to lose if they don't want to) |

As already mentioned, there is a compelling case for Don Bradman. 🏏
In my lifetime, I would have to say no sportsman has excited me more than Ronnie O'Sullivan. |

Kirk Douglas - he beat Gladiators, Norse Vikings endlessly repeated and still lives at 100 years old.

Jesse Owens
When you consider the environment he excelled in, that's pretty amazing and something very few athletes have had to endure since....and not just whilst in Germany, either. The way in which his own country treated him was pretty awful. |

Agreed! Won multiple golds in a country whose government considered him to be subhuman. Fortunately the German people really liked him so it wasn't all bad. Every other contender did their stuff on friendly turf.
