i hate big swimming

Usain is the new Chuck Norris. Get back to me when Phelps ends a world record swim with a Neon Deion high step.

Norris masterbated to Phelps last gold, not out of homosexual urge, but more as a salute from one ass-kicker to another before toweling off with a quilt made from the pelts of 8 different endangered animals.

There is no gay to Norris, only things that please and displease him.

Roundhouse Chuck then alerted the media that he was pleased and out of respect there would be no ass-kicking for 24 hours.

On monday he leaves for France where he'll single handedly take over the country and then work out an "agreement" with Putin over Georgia...

old news. lol

Anybody who wins 8 gold medals for the US of A is OK in my book.

No, no, no. Chuck Norris is the new Michael Phelps.

Phelps has a strong argument as any for the greatest Olympian ever, but it's not a slam dunk.

Get back to me when Usain breaks 7 WRs in 1 Olympics.

14 out of 16 medals are gold. Name one better.

Michael Phelps is the new Lance Armstrong.

Only he's firing out both barrels and accomplished dominance at 1/2 Lance's age...:)

Hell yes. Anyone who can't appreciate what Phelps accomplished in these Olympics isn't trying.
Here is a little perspective:

Gold Medal Count 2008 Summer Olympics

China 35
United States 19
Great Britain 11
Germany 9
Michael Phelps 8
Russia 7
Italy 6
France 4

How many other Olympic sports give an athlete that many chances to medal?

Swimming is not on an even playing field with other Olympic sports.

And you'd think with all of those different events, there would be a competitor for each event that would step up and seriously challenge or beat Phelps.

But they couldn't. Phelps had 8 chances to lose Gold, which is a whole lot easier considering he could have finished anywhere from 2-8, but he didn't.

Well Usain would do that if the Olympics would introduce the 40 meter dash, along with the 60 and 150.

There is more opportunity to gold in swimming than any other Olympic sport. They are not on an even playing field.

To me that makes his accomplishments all the more amazing. There is nothing more physically demanding than competitive swimming. Jump in and try some of those strokes those dudes do.
Phelps had to compete in multiple events and had such incredible endurance he still blew up the record book.
