| Soleron said: Chris Hoy. Out of those two, Bolt because his two medals require as much training as Phelps' eight (since all the swiming sports require similar skills) and his attitude upon winning is better. |
You honestly think running 100m vs. 200m uses more varied skills than a butterfly stroke vs. a backstroke vs. a breaststroke (I can't remember all the strokes Phelps uses)?
I'm not knocking Bolt, he's a phenomenal athlete, just like Phelps (and honestly, I think I prefer watching his over-the-top winning routine over Phelps' more reserved take on winning). But running is running, especially when it's narrowed to only sprints. Swimming uses all sorts of different techniques and turns in the various events.
