  1. I think Duke Kahanamoku was most famous for his 6 US Olympic gold medals that he earned with his amazing swimming.

  2. It would be cool to be famous because everyone would know you. Some people are famous for the wrong reason if they get picked for a TV show and they are just a regular person.

  3. An athlete's fame is different from a political leader's fame because an athlete usually doesn't have body guards that walk around with them. Also, an athlete does not drive around in a bullet-proof limo.
