Is michael johnson the greatest sprinter of all time?

Question

You have to look at achievements dude, not talking just about records.

Answer 1

NOPE----CARL LEWIS OR BOLT....YOU PICK!!

Answer 2

Nope. Think about Usain Bolt or Allyson Felix. Depends on you. :)

Answer 3

He was...now its Bolt..who will remain so for many years to come.

Answer 4

times have change since michael johnson raced at the Olympics so it is hard to put other athletes up against today's athletes all Olympic champios can only be judged on what they do at that time and who they are up against  

Answer 5

No Usain Bolt is

Answer 6

Although Micheal Johnson was a really great sprinter and set 2 world records in the 100 and 200m, he was busted for taking steroids and got all his medals taken away, which is basically cheating. So to answer your question, I don't think he is. I personally think Usain Bolt from Jamaica is the greatest. He just recentally won 2 gold medals for the 100 and 200m and broke Micheal Johnson's records while doing it.  

Answer 7

What? He doesn't even make the top 3. Carl Lewis? Jesse Owens? Even Bolt just wiped Michael Johnson off the map.  

Answer 8

Nope. Usain Bolt has the 100 and 200 meter sprint records.

Answer 9

to me Michael Johnson and Usain Bolt are both the best of their respective times..  

but nether of them are the greatest sprinters of all time...  

you just got to look at Carl Lewis and Jesse Owens.  

all of which are the greatest of their own times..  

EDIT::

to the lady who said Michael Johnson broke the 100m and 200m world record and also was taking steroids you are wrong..    Michael Johnson broke the 200m and 400m records..  and was not busted for steroid use..  you are thinking of Ben Johnson of Canada..   research before posting..  lol...  

some people are useless

you cannot put judgment on any of them.,
