soccer athletes would body football and basketball players in long distance running events.

but lebron would pretty much clean up everywhere else.

long jump

high jump

discus

javelin

probably the sprints as well.

thats doesn't make them better ATHLETES tho, that just makes them more well rounded physical specimens. all an athlete is, is a competitor in a game. you can't compare athletics across sports because each sport requires different skill sets, and different positions within each sport get further refined

but i agree that americans are more well rounded. (by americans i mean football players and some basketball players.)
