Summary- Peter Snell is at the top of NZ sport. In 2000, he was voted best sports person of the century with three Olympic gold medals. In Tokyo in 1960, he was supposed to make his game winning move but could not do it because he got cut of by other racers. Snell would have to break the world recorded to make the finals in Rome and because of all the 800 metre competitors that have signed up the had to do four racers in one day. This worked was an advantage to Snell because of Snell's pace and fitness. Snell met Lydiard an athletics coach in 1958 and formed one of immortal partnerships in NZ sport but he also met the 35 km Waiatarua route through the Waitakere Ranges. Snell's life would be different if he had the financial opportunities of today's professional era. He wouldn't have necessarily pursued an academic career and Snell did not know what would happen to him if he had gone back to NZ he doubted either option would have been as satisfying as studying and working in USA.

Peter was definatly popular (I guess you chose him because of your name Mr. Stoner ;)
But maybe not the best.
Since he has broken many records, that would have made him famous. Yet, he hasn't really earned hundreds of medals.

Snell was defiantly popular, but he does not have the most gold medals. I think the reason he was very famous in NZ is because he had set world records and he was named after many great honors.
People take different sides on who's the best Olympian but I wouldn't compare Olympians in different events.
