First Step to finding the greatest athlete of all time

The first stage in creating the list of the greatest athletes of all time is to determine the greatest athlete from all the major sports, then from this list decide on the greatest of the greatest. There are such lists around for many sports, but each have been determined by different groups using methods that vary.
