How about giving another gold medal to the runner who is best in combination of 100m and 200m running competitions? And another one, who is best in combination of 200m and 400m running competitions?

My point is, that you can say Phelps is the best swimmer in the world, but you can't compare athletes from different sports. He is not any better than winner of marathon or long jump competition with only one gold medal. They are all great.

It's easier to collect 5 gold medals in swimming? Can you name me at least 5 swimmers who didn't get caught doping and collected 5 gold medals in the same Olympics.

I thought that Alicia Sacramone's delay was to concentrate, but she came up a little off. It doesn't deserve her coach to speak out bad against her thoguh, besides she's really hot!

Just to shut up the world, Phelps should hand his pee to the officials before every race. The guy is just that good and the world should just realize that we have a superb athlete!

I don't think that doping is a big problem in swimming since technique is so important. So I have to say I don't understand your point. And why are you talking about swimmers? Read again, what I wrote. Phelps will be the best swimmer at OI ever, so I don't understand the second point there."

Phelps DOES the doping test after every race, because he is winning them all. I think that top 3 athletes always have to do it. if not top 3, then I am absolutely sure, that gold medalist has to be tested.

I've been cheering for Phelps and all of our American Althetes during the games.

I don't care about the Olympics or TV.
