Is somebody going to send Phelps a message to let him know he needs to come back and win 200m IM in Tokyo to be considered the best by some bloke on an internet forum? Though I'm not quite sure if that...

Swimmers can do multiple events each Olympiad ,weightlifters and judo players only one ,so how do you compare ?
View Articlearacer on "Michael Phelps - 19 gold medals - Greatest Olympian?"
Well to start with you compare those who've come back and won the same event multiple times in a row - Phelps has got 4 in a row, how many weightlifters or Judoka have managed that?

FWIW Mo is the first to retain the 10000m ever and that really did surprise meLasse Viren repeated the 5000/10000 double in 1976 following 1972.

Cheers for the clarification as it did surprise me re Mo perhaps they said or meant UK athlete or i misheard?Either way cheers for the info

I think Mo may be the first to retain the world title - something which didn't exist in in Viren's day (or Zatopek's who also did the 10,000 Olympic double). He's certainly achieved some impressive...
