    The icon, the heir and the machine. Three generations of football's biggest poster.

Your questions, answered

Which sports are on the list?
Football, tennis, basketball and the WNBA, the NFL, F1, boxing and MMA, athletics, swimming, gymnastics, golf, cricket, baseball, hockey, rugby, cycling and the Winter Olympics — seventy-three athletes in total.
Are these current athletes or all-time greats?
Both. Jordan, Tiger and Phelps sit on the same roster as Lamine Yamal, Coco Gauff and Paige Bueckers, so plenty of trios are deliberately unfair across eras.
How do I know what sport someone plays?
The subtitle under each name tells you — handy when a trio jumps from speed skating to cricket to the WNBA in one round.
