lizzie1238 538 Posted August 9, 2012 Until he achieves everything Phelps did and MORE , he's not better. Also, since he now holds the record on Olympic medals he IS the greatest olympian. At least until someone else overtakes it and it took decades for someone ( phelps) to break the previous record. Most decorated does not equal greatest. I think that Bolt is the greatest Olympian, but that's just my opinion. Phelps may have the most medals, but everyone has a different opinion on who they think the greatest Olympic athlete is.

He has the most medals .Therefore by performance he is ...Now if you want to go by strictly who you like and favor, ANYONE could be the greatest to you even with a fraction of the medals. 1 Robbie the Wise reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kaiso 2,764 Posted August 10, 2012 wow ladies soccer was really great this year, and I'm so proud of Canada and the USA's teams! They both did great, and I really wish these two competed in the final and not Japan tbqh. The Canada vs USA game was much more intense and the soccer (or football if you prefer to call it that) was overall better! Nonetheless that was a great run this year. c: I was watching synchro swimming this morning, honestly I find it really amazing that the're able to do some of the things they do in their routines. However, I still find that and the artistic gymnastics a bit more of a fine art than a sport. I wont deny the fact that they do need to be in some kind of shape and have athletic ability to compete in the competitions though, I mean to be able to swim without touching the bottom and lift people into the air multiple times throughout and execute some moves with speed and precision is really, really outstanding. 1 lizzie1238 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob 5,571 Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) Congrats to the US for winning a lot of events yesterday. Congrats to the US female runners during the baton race yesterday. Edited August 11, 2012 by Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lizzie1238 538 Posted August 12, 2012 (edited) Congratulations to Jamaica on winning the 4 x 100m relay, and to the US for not dropping the baton winning silver. And my deepest sympathies go out to the Canadians, who were told they won bronze and celebrated it, only to find out a few minutes later that they had been disqualified. We just seem to have the worst luck. Also congratulations to my new favourite diver, Tom Daley, on the bronze medal. Just look at him.
