hmmmm



this thread is fukking retarded

Explain how. Guarantee you can't. Because there is no fukking way anyone can explain one fukking sport being deemed the single most difficult or greatest sport in the Olympics. Or medal count dictating the greatest Olympian when there's no consistent, objective way to judge sports against sports and athletes against athletes. You incredibly dense special ed knee jerk simpletons.

"Nah breh, Phelps da GOAT, have you ever swam competitively?"

fukk outta here.

He has twice equaled the record eight medals of any type at a single Olympics achieved by Soviet gymnast Alexander Dityatin at the 1980 Moscow Summer Games.

His five gold medals in individual events tied the single Games record set by compatriot Eric Heiden in the 1980 Winter Olympics and equaled by Vitaly Scherbo at the 1992 Summer Games.

Phelps holds the record for the most gold medals won in a single Olympics; his eight at the 2008 Beijing Games surpassed American swimmer Mark Spitz's seven-gold performance at Munich in 1972.

Phelps' Olympic medal total is second only to the 18 Soviet gymnast Larisa Latynina won over three Olympics, including nine gold.

Phelps also holds the all-time record for most gold Olympic medals (14), as well as the record for most gold medals in individual events

this is why, stupid. he's the undisputed king of this olympic shyt, whether you care or not.

Do you have any idea how many athletes have had the same "opportunities" he's had and couldn't even come close to what he's accomplished ?

the basis of this thread is fukking retarded, trying to compare team sports to individual contest

and I couldn't give one fukk about fukking Michael Phelps

I could co-sign

He is suggesting that folks are being bias by placing favorable arguments for greatest Olympian towards the achievements of one athlete in one specific competition

So if you dominate in another sport, that's not favorable by that country's media/ majority of its citizens, then you don't exist

Control the media, you control how people think

Like saying "Greatest athlete is MJ," but ignoring triathlon competitors, track&field competitors, and professional cyclist competitors

Like favoring a British accent versus an Asian accent from a person who just learned English

Privileging one sport as the place the ultimate Olympian comes from is fukking stupid. Not sure why this is hard to comprehend.

Ohhhhhh.... You get that comparing individual contests to team sports is retarded, but you think comparing individual athletes across different sports with different rules, regulations, skills, and medal opportunities is legitimate. *kicks this mensa candidate in the forehead with muddy, bare feet*

The basis of this thread isn't that team sports are the same as individual contests, jackass. That's called over the top parody. The basis of this thread is there's no such thing as "the greatest Olympian" and it's a contrived, stupid storyline you mutantminded fukkface.

:piss:

I don't think you get the premise of his opinion...

We do and its fukkn stupid

Would this thread be up if a someone swept all track and field events???

No. T/S is reacting to the hype that phelps has EARNED. nikka aint bode miller. He has livedd up to every, every expectation.

His entire premise is: if swimming can allow the medley relay, why can't basketball have a 3pt contest

He's arguing that phelps ownage is inflated by his opportunities. Would he say the same about carl lewis???

Sit back and think about that for a second.
