If Phelps ran track, it would be like him winning the 100, 200, 400, every relay and the hurdles. You all do realize that athletes train their entire lives for a single swimming event. They get in the pool 3 times max at the olympics. And every single one of them loses to Phelps.
Michael Phelps is the most dominant athlete of all time. Michael Phelps is the greatest Olympian of all time.

Crazy couple of hours for GB - 3 golds in track and field!
Andy Murray has a rough day tomorrow now - Federer in the final at 2pm GMT then the mixed doubles at 4pm. Going to be tired - at least it's only 3 sets with a tiebreak.

Phelps is beast. No one can deny he is one of the best olympians ever.
Big ups to My Guatemalans who just won their first Silver medal in 20km.
Happy GB is out of soccer tourny. 2 Asian and 2Latins teams left in MSoccer. Hope its South Korea and Brazil (eventhough they were gifted semi win) in final

It is Brasil vs SK. It's gonna be good.
If they final is Brasil vs Mexico, that will be really good especially sign Mex beat them in a friendly earlier this summer

You're right, because it is even more difficult than that.

Again with the hyperboles Costas Jr.
Phelps is the most dominant SWIMMER of all time.
When dude starts competing in more than one sport, then we'll talk about being the most dominant ATHLETE.
Greatest Olympian? Sure...in swimming.

I haven't been this gassed about British sport since Linford won the 100m back in 92.
That 10k from Mo brought a tear to my eye bruh.
GB owned the day. Congrats to all the champions

Love him or hate him, Phelps is a beast. Heck, probably more than half of NTers here can't even swim, let alone do all the swimming strokes consistently fast. People fail to realize how difficult it is to have to compete in so many swimming events across so many days. There's a reason majority of swimmers (even track athletes) concentrate on a few specialty events instead of training for many.

Bolt eased up about 50m into his run and still finished first. Stupid fast.

TL;DR: Ya'll can't swim so you might as well inaccurately sensationalize his accomplishments.

Nah, I think winning every track event is tons more difficult. I think would it would be a lot more taxing on the joints, and well no explanation needed after that.
But not to discredit Phelps. He is THE man.
