We all are in awe of Michael Phelps and ... as we tend to do ... are now trying to place him among the greatest Olympians of all time. Right now, there is a very good debate that he may be the greatest.
Former Olympic gold medal winning sprinter Linford Christie doesn't think so:
"I don't think Michael Phelps is the greatest Olympian because fewer athletes take part in swimming as compared to athletics. I feel [Carl] Lewis was the greatest Olympian the world ever saw," said Christie, who will be the guest anchor for a special Olympic programme on news channel NewsX.
"More people run than swim," he added.
I've heard this being a major part of the "no he's not" debate and it does have some merit. ESPN's First Take had the same sort of debate a few days ago and hinted at such earlier this week. Still, it isn't that Phelps is just winning his events ... he's dominating them.
My vote goes for Carl Lewis just because Phelps has never made a video like the one above.
