There's no exact formula, but we're once again giving it a shot by ranking the most dominant athletes in the world.
Every aspect counts - athletes who crush opponents with power, speed, or technique, athletes who win individual accolades, athletes who reach the pinnacles of their sports, both individually or with a team.
Our list skews toward recent performance: while longevity and history counts, we favored athletes who have had successful years or stretches since our last edition in 2016.
The result is a wide variety of competitors in a wide variety of sports - football, basketball, baseball, hockey, soccer, golf, tennis, swimming, gymnastics, track and field, ice skating, and more.
Take a look below.
