Megan Rapinoe!

Awesome! You’ve got the most in common with the legendary Megan Rapinoe, she led the USA football (soccer, lol) team to greatness for many years and has proven herself to be one of the most goated players of all time! She’s patient, committed and above all, lives for the sport, just like you! You’re the kind of person that cares about sport in the bigger sense, it’s not just winning, it's the power, and passion behind each play that matters!

Jesse Owen!

Incredible! According to your results, you've got the most in common with the epic Jesse Owens! Jesse was the grandson of a slave in 1930s America, but despite the poverty and troubles he faced, he went on to be a world leading athlete who broke every record that mattered at the time, and did it all at a time of big racial inequality! Just like Jesse, you’ve got a spirit that can’t be beaten down, and nothing will stop you from living your dream!

Simone Biles!

Nice one! You’ve got Simone Biles! What an epic result! Simone made her big break when the 2024 Paris Olympics rolled around and she had the chance to show off her incredible gymnastic skills on the mat! Simone is quite possibly the greatest gymnast to have done it, so this is a goated result indeed! But as well as being wonderfully talented, Simone is also a down to earth and solid person too, who always stands up for what she believes in! Awesome!

Secretariat!

Alright! Okay, hear us out on this one… According to your result, you’ve got the most in common with Secretariat, the greatest American horse of all time! Now Secretariat might seem like an unusual result, but as far as athletes go, there are few as powerful, agile or fast as a horse - and few horses are as fast as Secretariat! You’ve gotten this result because you're made of different stuff! Sure there are lots of athletes in the world, but there is no-one like you! So channel the strength of this epic horse, and go out and change the world!
