Who are the best American Olympic sprinters of all-time?

Answers:

Can anyone tell me anything regarding the track times for the 1500m in the olympics between 1949 and 2006?

"Best" is a subjective term and it depends on what you consider the qualities needed to be considered best.

But I'd suggest the group would include these ladies:

6 - Marion Jones. 3-Golds, 2-Bronze and has run the fastest times since Florence Griffith Joyner, but controversy swirls around her.

5 - Florence Griffith Joyner. 3-Golds, 2-Silvers and 2 WRs that still stand, but there's suspicion of doping, although she never failed a drug test.

4 - Gail Devers. (3 Golds) Only the second woman to defend her Olympic 100m championship ('92 & '96). An even better hurdler than a sprinter, but has not be able to win an Olympic final as a hurdler and has never set a World Record.

3 - Wyomia Tyus. 3 Golds, 1 Silver and four times set or tied the World Record for the 100m. First woman to successfully defend her Olympic 100m championship. '64 & '68.

2 - Wilma Rudolph. 3-Golds, 1-Bronze. Suffered from polio as a child, Wilma became the first American woman to win 3 gold medals in the Olympics. She won the 100-meter dash, the 200-meter dash, and ran the anchor on the 400-meter relay team. Twice set or tied the WR for 100m.

1 - Evelyn Ashford. 4-Golds, 1 Silver and twice set a WR in the 100m. Named to 5 Olympic teams '76, '80, '84, '88, '92.
