182Tim Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Phelps is awesome. You could tell he was drained after that relay they won. His first race last night had my heart beating so fast. It surprised me that I got so worked up over swimming lol, its usually only when I watch football ( especially the Miami Dolphins). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghent Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Gotta love the Leclos guy staring him down and making a huge scene and then not even medaling lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott. Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Phelps is incredible. Best Olympian of all time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patient #48273 Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Phelps is definitely the best Olympic swimmer of all time, but it's hard to compare across sports, especially ones where an athlete can only receive one medal per Olympics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghent Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Yeah, swimming and track and field can be medal factories. most other sports don't have that luxury. that's not to slight his achievements in any way though. dude is legit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott. Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Yeah fair enough but he's still got to win every race against different guys in a different style over different distances. He's incredible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch. Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 About time some one gave the US a tight game in the 'ball! I can seriously see that being the gold medal match..... .......with the Boomers winning. (Hey, it's okay to dream right?!) hahahah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brocksta182 Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 I'm glad that Australia is doing quite well in the pool and overall medal tally at the moment. Crazy that Phelps has 21 gold medals now. Ledecky is proving to be pretty unstoppable too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott. Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Yeah the Aussies were a disgrace in London. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low Value Boy Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Pelphs is the man, 21 golds is incredible. Sir Steve Redrave deserves a mention too, 5 golds at 5 separate Olympics is some record. Really enjoyed the synchronised diving last night, great for the two GB lads to bring it home - they looked like they were just having a laugh a lot of the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's incredible. Oh yeah, how about in Beijing 8 years ago where he got the gold in every event he was in, 8 events. Are you kidding me? I can't even get a USB device plugged in the right direction on the first try 8 times in a row. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch. Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Usually comes down to the Aussies and the Brits in the cycling. I love that rivalry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylan_ Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Australia do pretty damn good for such a small country. They have a really good first week with the swimming but don't win too much when it comes to the track and field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
