He came in 2nd yesterday, and his wins were all split seconds, he is no Ledeckey. Sorry not trying to be harsh but we live in a harsh world and he is not exception. He is mediocre he figured out a way to gain medals but he has not shown immortality in anyway the singapore boy was immortal yesterday
Wow, you must be the life of the party! Definitely a glass-half-empty kind of person, if that statement is any indication.
"He figured out a way to gain medals".... yes, by training and by beating the times of how many other world-class swimmers. Gee, I guess we all have that figured out, but only someone like Phelps can actually go out and win the medals.
His wins were all split seconds.... you are familiar with how world-class races work, and how often a split second makes the difference between winning and losing, right?
He is no Ledecky... so glad that is apparent to you. Katie Ledecky is a 19-year-old female swimmer; Michael Phelps is a 31-year-old male swimmer. Any other questions?

Are you kidding? He holds the world record in Olympic Gold Medals (22). No one else comes close. He also holds 7 world records in time in events, more than any other male.
He is a world record maker, and consistent. A true Olympian, by any measure. There is no one else who comes close.
Ledecky, I believe, has 3 golds and 3 world records. She, too, is an Olympian.

Lets all hope you don't think swimming is popular and like track and field, etc...
This thread is idiotic. Swimming is an individual event and you either win or lose on your talent. He won the gold medal 4 Olympics in a row in the same event which has never been done. He also won 23 Gold Medals and the next person has 9. He is far and away the greatest Olympian of all time. I have enjoyed watching him in every Olympics and IMHO he is the greatest of all time.

What sport did you compete in at an Olympics? What year?

You do realize that "immortality" means the ability to live forever, right? If you are hanging around people talking about Phelps (or anyone) having the ability to live forever, you are hanging around idiots.
And why would the ability to live forever (a trait no one in our history has possessed) tie into someone's athletic skill at a particular sport?
