The 45 Greatest Athletes of All Time
Sportsmen and women are the modern-day gladiators who are idolized across the globe. So, today we celebrate the greatest athletes of all time. From football to Formula One, boxing to baseball, and soccer to err… skateboarding. As all ranked lists are subjective, we don’t expect you to agree but expect a few unfamiliar names. As we cross the finish line, we hope to say, “Are you not entertained?”

45. Tony Hawk
If you don't think skateboarding is a sport, you're just plain wrong! It may have started out with Stacy Peralta and the Z-Boys rolling around Venice Beach, but now skating is a bona fide Olympic sport. Tony Hawk was the greatest Sk8er Boi in history - he pioneered modern vertical skating and executed numerous impossible tricks.

In 1999, he became the first person to successfully land a "900," a trick in which you make two-and-a-half mid-air revolutions. Although he retired in 2003, Hawk still shreds to this day at the age of 55!
