Herman's Top 2000 Olympians

These are my top 2000 Olympians :

This is a list that is combined from two sources - the great Olympians lists, according to original Honour Points, and the full Olympians lists, according to new Honour points. The full list has been completed only until St.Moritz 1928, and for the first 900 of this top-2000 (+16000 HP). I am currently completing by sport, and have already finished Aquatics and Bobsledding.
The New Honour points are 100 times smaller than the old ones and the lists are corrected for this.

Check here to see how these Honour Points are attributed. Check the Main Page for more Olympic lists.
