Athletes that could compete in other sports
After Paul Roos' article discussing how he thought guys like Mills, Usain Bolt, Dwight Howard and LeBron could potentially dominat in the AFL I started wondering which athletes could also be champions in other sports.
AFL footballers could potentially be good at track and field (appraently Shane Crawford was the third fastest 800m runner in Australia just prior to the Sydney Olympics).
You'd think a guy like LeBron and/or Dwight Howard would make good decathletes. But how about something like rowing/kayaking - could they be gold medallists with a couple of years of specific training?
Could divers become could trampoliners/gymnats and vice versa?
And I've always wanted to know how our cricket team would go against our baseball side in a game of baseball?
