Pound for pound, Luke Robinson would take some beating for any fitness test thrown at him. Super trainer.

If you are going to crown someone fittest you need to include a range of things not just 100m

I would for example beat any Rugby League player by a mile at any distance over a mile and up to a marathon , I am a county standard runner BUT they would beat mean over 100 and at dips etc

A fitness test needs to include a sprint, a long distance race, some strength work etc

I think Superstars did have an 800m or 1500m by memory but its not long enough as a fitness test

I know he's the ultmate soccer pansy but the Milan coach thinks he's in such good physcial condition that he could carry on playing top flight footie until he's 40. In power and strength obviously rugby is going to score high but any endurance type events are probably not going to see any special results.

Mitchell Sargent has got the work ethic of an ox and never stops. May not be the fastest, but my god he has tireless energy.
