I would have four Golds as well if I had made the Olympic team four times and won every match.

In addition, Satiev lost in the pool matches even if he would have beaten Slay he still would have had a lot of matches to win before he got Gold.

I think there is no debate who was the better technical wrestler. But as the subject is "who is the Greatest Olympian" I have switched to favor Bruce. Longer career, jsut as many Golds and more total medals.

So, he would have won them.
