"Follow The Leader" coin thread BY THEME (for ALL types of coins, tokens, and medals)

Since there haven't been any new posts since Wednesday morning, I propose that we change the theme to athletic events. This theme includes events such as the Olympics or coins commemorating events for a particular sport like the World Cup.
