Also, Phelps isn't swimming anything of distance. They are all sprints. At the Olympic level, I know the 400 is considered a sprint, but anything more then that is distance. I still consider the 400 to be a bit of distance.
Bolt is also shattering world records and beating people by 4 or 5 links. Phelps only won 2 of those 9 gold medals because of an out touching.
