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.

    Not to :worms: but I think there is a better chance that Ye is clean than Bolt:bolt:. I know. I looked at the WR progression for the 100 meter dash and in the past 25 years or so its been staggering. 1936 - Jessie Owens - 10.2 1988 - Carl Lewis - 9.92, 52 years later and only ~.28 faster. 2009 - Usain Bolt - 9.58, 21 years later and .34 seconds faster.
