<span style="font-weight: bold">Bolt vs Phelps, who is more Impressive?</span>
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body"><span style="font-weight: bold">Usain Bolt picked up the slack left by Michael Phelps’ week 1 performance in these Beijing games more than adequately by going 3-for-3-for-3 as in 3 races, 3 gold medals and 3 world records; something that has never been done by a sprinter at a single Olympic games.</span>
So as these Olympic games come to a conclusion, two stars have emerged head and shoulders above the rest as the story of the games — Phelps in week 1 and Bolt in week 2. But inevitably, as with all sports, a discussion emerges about who has been more impressive. Both have accomplished incredible feats that have never been seen before in their respective sports but only one has removed their sport from the bad light it had in being associated with doping.
<span style="font-weight: bold">At the end of the day, this discussion begins and ends with Bolt. plain and simple. His accomplishments are far more impressive than what Phelps did in swimming.</span>... <span style="font-style: italic">Continued</span>.</div></div>
We all know that he became a great Olympian at Beijing, but for many of us, the importance of his remarkable feats are not yet fully realized as such, compared to how he he is really viewed by the rest of the world... In some quarters his achievements are considered greater than those of Michael Phelps though he only won three Golds as against eight won by Phelps. The debate is ongoing but for us Jamaicans, the writer could not be more Right, (No pun intended) and for that we Jamaicans are justly proud...
