I was thinking that as well. The list of athletes who have won 60% of their races or events against the field is probably pretty small across all sports. Bekele is probably on the list. Maybe Geb or Kipchoge (though the latter wasn’t always winning on the track which would bring his win rate down). Not sure if any cyclist would be up there (since placing is kind of odd with all of the different as you’ve got stage races and one day races). I don’t follow swimming at all, but maybe Phelps?
