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.
Phelps' world records are meaningless. WR's are dropping every single event with the new Speedo suits. In most races Phelps were in, there were 3-4 other swimmers who were ahead of the previous WR time.

Give Bolt a chance to run backwards and skip down the track and he sweeps the medals too.
