[@Andarovin]

Chris Dood So then name a decathlete whose accomplishments can match his 18 golds and 22 medals overall.

[@Chrisdoodnauth94]

Andarovin That is literally besides the point. Phelps has the most medals in history but the true test of ones physical apex ability, mentality and dedication is a multivariate event. If you want to say phelps is the greatest because of his medals than thats okay

[@ryderwashington4199]

+San An I agree decathlon is the best test, because it tests almost every major track and field event. In life it's not about speciality, it's about overall and decathlon athletes are the greatest olympians the world has to offer.

It’s not that hard. I’ve swam on a team for a while. It just takes practice and hard work.

[@ΧρήστοςΤσαρτσάλης]

@@Komerican10 to learn the stroke its okay you can learn it with some practice...but to swim 100m or 200m butterfly in a race and that pace its freaking exhausting...and think about the sets at practice they do these athletes to be able to swim that fast ....too difficult.

[@Komerican10]

Χρήστος Τσαρτσάλης Not really. Yes Fly is very exhausting, but to perfect that stroke is like gold. My daughter is amazing at fly and she is 14! She just joined the swim team and figured out which one she loved most. I taught her all the strokes and she is a natural like Phelps:)

[@addreetrand4860]

I'm a swimmer, I have been for 8 years, and I'm above average. I'm a freshman in high school, and I'm swimming for my team. My two strokes are freestyle and butterfly, and my main event and event that I want to take to State this year is the 50 freestyle. People say that swimming isn't a sport, and that makes me so angry. I practice on a daily basis, doing weights and different body exercises to drop a quarter of a second, being the first one in the pool for warm ups, always wanting to improve. Swimming is *hard*. It's probably the hardest sport in the world, and don't try to back yourself up with rugby, because, yes, rugby is crazy, but it's just violin. Swimming takes your entire body and mind. I slammed my fingers into the wall once and thought I had just hit them, so I kept swimming, but I had broken two of my fingers, which I found out after the race. Swimming has no excuse to not go to practice. Swimmers, keep your heads up. You're strong, no one can work harder than you. Pain is temporary. Swim for that adrenaline, for that glory. Don't ever stop.

With all due respect, though... but at the same championships he could compete in 5 different events, and in 3 relays.There is no other discipline of sport in which any sportsman can grab so many opportunities for medals. I am pretty much sure Michael that there are or were some other great athletes equally fantastic, as Paavo Nurmi, Michael Jordan, Roger Federer or Jessie Owens, not to mention Ole Einar Bierndealen of Norway.... Cheers to you, mate anyway ! Good luck in Rio !!!

He is now much stronger... who knows maybe... fingers crossed !!!
