Who was your favorite athlete in the olympics?

Question

personally my favorite was Michael Phelps because he won 8 gold medals in a row

Answer 1

Shawn Johnson the cutest lil american gymnast!!!

Answer 2

usain bolt, 3 events, 3 golds, 3 world records, and he didnt even break a sweat, amazing

Answer 3

i don't know her name but she was a hottie high jumper with lil red panties/speedo....real cute with a nice butt

Answer 4

Matthew Mitcham - he clinched the last diving gold and got the highest ever single score in Olympic diving as well

Answer 5

Michael Jordan

Answer 6

Korean weightlifter Jang Mi-ran, who set three world records. Her first lifts were way, way above everyone else, breaking her previous three world records set in Athens -- and they clinched her the gold immediately. But she kept raising the bar. They had her carry the Korean flag at the closing ceremony. It's not exactly glamorous, these great big ladies lifting super-heavy weights, but this young lady is clearly a true athlete, outclassing every other contestant by far. BTW, Michael Phelps is my favorite, too, almost as much -- but put my vote in for Miss Jang.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Michael Phelps. As a former swimmer and swim coach (swum from 7-19 years old coached from 16-26 years old), I can unequivocally say: What he did is without equal. 8 golds and 7 world records? Amazing across so many different swimming disciplines, sprinting, mid-distance, Individual medley, Fly. All require specific training. That fact that he does them all at such a high level is something not seen very often in Swimming. He is truly one of a kind.

I don't mean to degrade Bolt's performance at all. The guy is flat out amazing. But trying to compare his 3 records and 3 golds to Phelps's 7 and 8 and saying Bolt was better. That's just an exercise in foolishness.... or denial.... It's comical to me when I see an attempt to argue this.
