Phelps: Greatest Olympian or just Greatest Swimmer?

And Bolt takes his third gold with a relay victory.

 

How about the silly jumping contests, long jump, high jump, triple jump (WTF is the triple jump , is that like hop-skip-jump?)

 

There are only three.... not 16

 

But its jumping, when are you going to jump in real life?

 

More often than you are going to backstroke, butterfly stroke or breaststroke (the swim)....

 

How about them?

One is horizontal. The other is vertical. There's a 400% difference in the winning length/height in the long jump and high jump.

I'd say that's pretty different.

A little more different than swimming 200 meters five different ways.

Breaststroke = "how can I get from Point A to Point B in the slowest manner possible while still actually swimming?"
