Micheals Phelps is great, but best ever, come on
After watching the olympics this year and hearing all the accolades for Phelps, I was thinking how many swimming events are there. What it boils down to is he is a really fast swimmer and there happened to be 8 different events centered around that. Calling him greatest althlete ever (mostly by Americans) is kindof ridiculous, yeah I now he useless different strokes but big whoop.
If there was eight different running events isn't there a good chance Bolt would have probably won them all. But if ur a really fast runner u got a couple of events max u can compete in. Just putting that into perspective Phelps is great, no where near greatest. It would basically be the the same as have running events for 40m, 45m , 50m etc and one guy winning them all, just my two cents though....
