Disagree. You have to consider the endurance it took for phelps to do what he did, as WELL as speed. He swam in a retarded number of races and qualifiers in a short short period of time. No, he didn't sprint swim, but he beat the best swimmers in the world again and again and again, sometimes racing twice in an hour. What bolt did was amazing, what phelps did was amazing, and for entirely different reasons...both where incredibly impressive athletic feats that stand separate.

Well said

They said the 400m might be Bolt's best race. I agree that it very well could be with his top end speed. So, if Bolt comes out the next olympics and wins the 100m, 200m, and the 400m, breaks his own 100m record and sets a new 400m record, all which seems to be a real possibility, then that will be a spectacular showcase.

Maybe with all that endorsement money, Phelps can go get his teeth fixed.
He looks like a Great White Shark.

Fuck him...I'm sick of the media telling us who should be our hero's.

Bolt is the fastest man on the planet.

...and Fuck Mark Spitz too. He's selling Botox now !!!

How can you say someone that won 2 medals and broke 2 records is better than someone that won 8 golds and broke what, 7 world records?

Phelps by a long way!!!!

 

[hanselthecaretaker]

Yeah but he's blaque and this olympics is all about the whites. He has to wait til next time.

NBC needs to make a national hero - don't get in their way. Too bad after the olympics no one will give a shit aobut a SWIMMER!

Wrong. This Olympics is all about the rise of COMMUNISM!!

i just find a human being able to run at those insane speeds more impressive.. nothing to do with medal count ..

Bolt gets third gold as Jamaica sets world record in relay

BEIJING -- Three races. Three wins. Three world records

The Jamaican team celebrates another gold for the country, third for Usain Bolt. (AP)
OK, so Usain Bolt won't take home eight gold medals from these Olympics, the way Michael Phelps did. That's simply because there weren't enough races.

We'll see if people even remember the name Phelps in 4 years. Or even 1.
