Man, that one hit my funny bone DEEEEEEP. I’m LMAO!!! That’s why he is so fast. His coach puts a shark in the pool with him. OMG Seriously, what Phelps has done is epic. So if the question (not sure what the Question is) is who is the greatest Olympian/winner…………Hands down Michael Phelps!
Ok, just dont become stalker
For me also the winner would be who gets more fun from the games (after China, China is reall winner and some coutnries, forbidden to mention i negative context, are loosers )
I think among women volleyball players there is much collectivity and I dont know, it seems like that, women are most times better than men in some qualities, more patient, tolerant etc
What irritates me heavily around sports that it is given much more attention (media, financial etc) than it objectively deserves. In some countries more so than others. Also, what irritates me next about it, are totally stupid statements of people around sports (journalists, players themselves, coaches, audience). Sometime they talk about so simple things like they are, I dont know, important philosophical questions or something of outmost importance in our lives.
I mean, retirement system shattered, healthcare on low levels, education not good, children go to poor schools, older folk die in bad retirement homes without enough care, and there is more talk about sport than all of these areas together.
For me thats more than stupid.
I don’t see evidences that Phelps is taking any advantage, in fact I find sad he was punished for smoking like a monkey, as it does not improve at all how good he swims etc, only a bad example for kids, and it is up to him to smoke whatever he wants if it makes him happy :bigsmile:
