Okay so now that 2 olympic golds are a thing again (discounting the team event), I wonder.  Generally we look at someone who is unable to win world titles but able to win the olympics as a flash in the pan. It's always nice confirmation to be a world champion building up to being an olympic champion.  But what if you could get 2 OGMs in two separate games without any world medals (of any color) as opposed to being a multiple world champion and a 1x olympic gold medallist.  It's a most unlikely hypothetical scenario as there's a good chance a 2x OGM at least has a world medal or two, even if not gold, but I'm just curious. All at the Olympics and nothing at worlds, or a little bit a wealth in both...

 

I guess I think about someone like Aliona who has 6 world championships and now and OGM. Would she trade all those to have a second OGM?

It took me a while to decide to vote, but I chose the 2nd one on certain conditions.  I feel like if I were a 3x world champ and under, I'd rather take a 2nd olympic gold.  But if I can be a 1x Olympic champion and a 4,5,6x world champion, I would be good with that.

 

Also, for the GOAT conversation, 2 OGMs without world gold could be a tougher argument than 1 OGM and bunch of worlds.

2 OGM > 1 OGM + 3 world golds

2 OGM = 1 OGM + 4 world golds

2 OGM < 1 OGM + 5+ world golds

 

This is a good breakdown, except I think I'd go one less, as in:

2 OGM > 1 OGM + 2 world golds (plus some silvers)

2 OGM < 1 OGM + 3+ world golds

 

This because once you start getting more than 2 world medals, it actually starts going into dominance of a field territory and I find that maybe even better than 2 OGMs and no world medals.
