Hands down, Micheal Phelps is a greater Olympian than Bolt. the ability to compete and succeed at so many different events and dominate them is unbelievable. you don't see Bolt competing in the hurdles, high jump, decathlon, etc. the argument that Phelps has lost in some events is ludicrous. Bolt races in 2 individual and 2 relays, If Phelps only focused on 2 events he wouldn't loose either.

The Headline says it all. All Americans think that just because their great at something, they need to be arrogant and have that "in your face" attitude. I understand you can be cocky if your the best, but the Americans always take it to the level that their the best of everything and that's that. Even when the loose, it's "We came in 2nd, but we're still the best." Listen to NBC broadcasting swimming events. "In Lane 4 we have, and in Lane 8 we have." When people say Olympics, the first thing everyone will think of is Bolt. And yes USA, Bolt will even be more remembered than Lewis. Now, I don't know what I'm talking about.

Why? The sheer beauty and power of his full speed stride.
