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.
Ah, He didn't win the Jamaican Trials and fail stated at Worlds last Year.
Yes, but the discussion is about the greatest Olympian, is it not? Anything outside the Olympics shouldn't matter.
It's sort of interesting that Phelps is only 14 months older than Bolt yet he's already been to four Olympics and Bolt has only been to two. Actually, I take that back. He did run the 200 meter in 2004, but didn't make it past prelims, so Bolt has NOT been perfect at the Olympics and he's competed in three Olympics.
