The Phelps Countdown ...

[Mike]

Michael Phelps has the opportunity to write history.
He's off to a good start nabbing the 400m medley in world record time of: 4 minutes, 3.84 seconds, beating his own WR and crushing the competition.

1 down - 7 events to go! If he makes all 8 events, he'll be the most decorated Olympian in history...and most likely in all of our life time.

I'm not much of a swimming fan, but Phelps seriously rocks!

So now the debating will begin... Same training methods, same swimming suits, same prime - who wins? Phelps or Mark Spitz?

Phelps is just amazing. Out of this world. However, I wouldn't say that he is the greatest Olympian yet. To be honest, I don't think you can really compare gold medals in swimming with gold medals in say the marathon. If the number of gold medals was a mark of the best Olympian, you're losing the whole point of the Olympics.

HOWEVER, Phelps kicked some major butt in Beijing.

Phelps is the best swimmer I have ever seen.
