7 world records and 8 gold medals? Come on.
I agree the Bolt story is a great one....but it pales in comparison to what happened in the pool.
I know the Anti-US sentiment is alive and well around these parts but let that go and look at things without bias.

I'm not so sure. In my case its maybe because I prefer track to swimming, but I think both are incredible performances. Maybe it will depend what happens in the men's 4x100
but the 100 M champion is often the marquee player of the games, and Bolt anhiliated that record without trying. Michael Johnson's record was one of the greater ones in track and he beat that too. Yes Phelps was superhuman also and in a way how can you argue with 8 medals, other than to say that Bolt can't really compete for 8 medals
