Someone is getting fired at NBC today. At 6:15 EST i watched Michael Phelps swim.... LIVE!
It was a qualifier but dude you get no phelps until late night i'm sure that is in their rule book.
So glad Phelps is the GOAT!
Wish he could have grabbed gold instead of silver last night in the individual, but the men's relay team was awesome

the 1st Man in the history....Golden medal at 3 Olympic games in the row...
he is the 1st athlete of ALL times that has 19 Olympic medals total....
:thumbup:
i really don't think phelps is the #1 athlete of all time ... for sure maybe the best swimmer but not athlete ... he's lucky because he participates in a sport that has ridiculous amount of events where 1 athlete can participate ... i mean they run the 200 m IM and then the 400 m IM ... it's usually the same guys or gals getting medals in both ... add in relays and its absurd how many medals swimmers can win in an olympics ...
i would rather nominate an athlete that has won medals at both winter and summer games ...

I am not even trying to avoid hearing about results during the day and wait until the night show, it is just too hard.
The other night on NBC, before the race aired, they showed a commercial for a morning show where they were going to interview the gold medal winner and her parents. :fp:

the previous record was back at 1960..18 olympic medals a woman at gymnastic..
olympic medal is the number 1 medal at sports...he has the record...means..he is the number 1..

I think it's a huge accomplishment. He has dominated the sport for 12 years, all the medals are evidence of that. It will be a long time before anyone comes close to that again.

ya ... but the numbers are skewed in his favour because he is in a sport that gives him the most opportunities ... also, he swims for a country that has been dominant in the pool ... you can't win all those medals without the relay events - if he swam for say greece ... he wouldn't have the most medals ... i agree - he's probably the greatest swimmer ever but his medal count is skewed because he is given so many opportunities to win medals vs. other athletes ... if you are the best in judo - you have opportunity to win only 1 medal ... not 10 ...

i understand u..but even with the most opportunities he did what he did..same as athletics..
lets say Carl Lewis..,100,200m 4x100,jump..he had more opportunities than someone plays water polo,but can u imagine what need to take part to all this sports in 8 days,heats phase,qualifier,semifinals,finals to all this??
.and if phelps was greek,im sure he wouldnt take all this medals,but he would look more sexy..

“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
by my count 8 of phelps' olympic medals are relay medals ... you aren't going to win those medals if you swim for canada or fiji ...
i hope i could live at fiji and dont give a shit about medal..all day i would lay on the beach!!

... he doesn't have enough body hair to be greek ...
all these athletes in all their events train every bit as hard as swimmers ... they aren't the only ones getting up at 4 am ... also, if anything - swimming is a low impact sport ... i would argue that is what allowed him to swim in 3 olympics in terms of impact on the body ... people when they are injured often rehab in a pool because its easier on your body ... compare that to a long distance runner and you'll rarely see that kind of dominance ...
i was watching some fencing..the greek girl won...
i dont have a clue how to understand the point.. :fp:
