Phelps has so many medals because swimming has WAY TOO MANY EVENTS. 100m, 200m, 4x100m... why not add 50 m, 250 m, 217 m, 113.6 m.... and 8x76m and 12x346m and have all of them in freestyle, backstroke, butterfly, doggy-paddle, silly-swim,
If we're going to have so many swimming medals, so that we can compare apples to oranges for "Greatest Olympian" we have to add in more categories in other sports. Let's have 4-on-4 hockey, 3-on-3 hockey, big-ice hockey, small-ice hockey, 20-minute hockey, 40-minute hockey, etc, etc, etc..
