#5 Pietro Mennea

PIETRO MENNEA incredibly competed for Italy in FIVE Olympic Games!!! His impact on the 200m was sensational – from his 200m Olympic medals [🥇🥉], his 200m World [🥉] and European medals [🥇🥇], to perhaps his biggest achievement of all…

…many Greats tried [Carl Lewis, Mike Marsh etc.], but none until 1996 were able to re-write the record books from Mennea’s awesome 19.72 secs from 1979 at the Universiade! 45 years later, it remains the 200m European Record!!!🔥
