One final thought, Bolt is the fastest human by far on land. Phelps is the greatest swimmer, but he is NOT the fastest. That matters to me a little bit.
Those are arbitrary distances involved in selecting the "fastest human." Are we sure Bolt is the fastest in a 25 m run?
If you hold the world mark in the Marathon, you're the fastest over 26.2 miles even though you can't outsprint Bolt. But then again, Bolt can't beat you in a Marathon, either!
