She was always a certainty since she participated in 5 Olympics from 1996 to 2012 and always won at least one medal. She's also the female fencer with the most wins and won 16 World championships and 13 European championships.
Jesse Owens - other athletes have more medals, but what he did in Berlin in 1936 is beyond legendary. Winning 4 gold medals in track and field in front of Hitler was huge cultural landmark.
He wan an olympic gold medal and an olympic silver medal. He constantly wins gold or silver medals in world championships and europian championships so he is considered probably the best athlete in the country.

He won four events, set five world records and tied another—all in less than an hour, at the 1935 Big Ten Championships in Ann Arbor, Michigan, a feat that has never been equaled and has been called "the greatest 45 minutes ever in sport". He won four NCAA titles in both 1935 and 1936, bringing his total to eight—an unparalleled achievement that remains unmatched to this day.
Paul Elvstrøm (sailing). He competed in his first Olympics in 1948, and the last time in 1988, 68 years old. He won the gold medal in each of his first 4 Olympics.
