Several notes on Snell:
I have seen several references about his grass track times (barefoot). The
1:44.1 time he ran barefoot is unbelievable...really, just think about that
for a moment.
And for those of you doubting his dominance, check out his Tokyo Olympic
race - he buried the field with

Thankfully, I've only run 2 1500's in my life (and I think it took me 2:38 to

Cathy's last 200m split was supposedly fast - roughly 25.0 after a 24.0
first 200. Pretty sure she hasn't raced a comp 800m yet.
Freeman's 'next best' event potentially could be the 400H (hello Irina!) -
Cathy ran 14.0 for 100m Hurdles as a 15yo over a decade ago.

I completely agree that Peter Snell's domination was impressive and I can't
think of anyone who jumps out as a clearly superior
Related question, prior to this year has there ever been
an athlete, male or female, who medaled in an Olympics or
World Championships in both the Long Jump and either the
open 400 or 4x400?
That has to be one of the widest 'dissimilarity' of
top-level performance in events ever seen,

both were super athletes, and the best thing with this discussion is
that we now write about them.

A similar case to Perris-Kneebone. In 1992 Germany's Nico Motchebon was
very close to the Olympic Team in Modern Pentathlon. He was even on
German TV, showing the clothing that the Germans would wear in
