Listening to the Olympic commentators makes me cringe sometimes. Some of these cretins are convinced Usain Bolt is a greater Olympian than Phelps.
No Way----NO FRIGGIN' WAY!!!!
=> Michael has won more total golds and total medals over a longer period of time He Owned the pool in Beijing. Bolt dominated two individual and one relay over two Olympiads.
=> Michael's career has lasted much longer than Bolt's.
=> Michael probably has the aerobic capacity of 3 Bolts put together.
=> Bolt is all fast-twitch fibers - honed to perfection for sure but I'd love to see him try to run a 400 or 800m.Michael is fast and slow twitch fibers.
OTOH, I thought it was great that Ado Bolton gave the nod to David Rudisha's 800m world record as the highlight event of the track session, not to any of Usain Bolt's runs. I think most people expected Bolt to win his events (despite all the "can he hold off Yohan Blake?" hype by NBC), whereas Rudish's WR came pretty much out of the blue.
