I am sick of hearing how many more medals Phelps has than anyone considering there are a million swimming events compared to other sports :{ :rolleyes
 
crazy

i feel fortunate to be able to tell my kids i watched this dude win all these medals
 
What a way to go out, starting his lap in 2nd place and then finishing it with the lead again to set up one last Gold. GOAT :hat :hat :hat

That makes him even greater in my opinion. Being able to dominate various different events is no easy task and he's been doing it continuously since he was 18.

LOL.. Yalls only argument is that there's a million events, and he WINS THEM ALL??? :rollin Happy for the greatest olympian of all time. You will be missed. It was fun to watch him dominate not just his sport, but the Olympics in general.

The media just likes to sensationalize their topics so its easier for them to make mass generalizations. 

Phelps is the greatest pro swimmer of all time, no doubt.

But greatest olympian? What does that even MEAN? You can only win one gold in Table Tennis. You can win several in swimming. Its not even a direct comparison.

But on another note, I think title defenses are far more impressive.
