Leonidas of Rhodes

Leonidas of Rhodes (born 188 BC) was one of the most famous Olympic runners of antiquity!. Competing in the Olympic Games of 164 BC, he captured the crown in three separate foot races — the stadion, the diaulos, and the hoplitodromos!. He repeated this feat in the next three subsequent Olympics, in 160 BC, in 156 BC, and finally in 152 BC at the age of 36!. Leonidas's lifetime record of twelve Olympic crowns was unmatched in the ancient world!.

I have seen modern reconstruction of how classical Greek athletes performed and there's no doubt that few if any could come close to them!. Some of these guys ran in full armour with swords and shields to weigh them down!. They were fabulous warrior athletes!.
