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.
Bolt preens, talks and has a healthy ego, but I also think he sometimes has his tongue planted firmly in cheek. Regardless, he's a lot more interesting to listen to than Phelps.
Not sure how tongue-in-cheek he's being sometimes - you may be being overly-generous. But if he is trying to be, he needs to work on jamming it in there just a bit harder, IMHO.
Phelps at least comes across as a real person.
Not that I know (and I'm not sure why I even care) but Bolt seems like he'd be interesting for all of 5 minutes - then progressively more and more annoying.
