The Greatest of All Time

Discuss an athlete who you consider the greatest in their field, justifying your point of view.

The debate over who is the ‘greatest of all time’ is a constant in sporting circles and a compelling jumping-off point for an opinion piece. This prompt asks you to dive deep into one athlete’s career, substantiating your reasoning through an examination of their achievements, skills, influence and impact, on and off the field. The goal is to develop an engaging, well-reasoned viewpoint that goes beyond personal bias and includes a thoughtful analysis of the sportsman or sportswoman in question.
