Probably just spurning conversation, but it is almost impossible to compare a performance (no matter how great) in one single event for one single race to what Phelps has accomplished this year.

I'm very much over the Phelps love fest, but what he has done truly is amazing.

Yea Bolt has only done 2 events, but with the ease that he dominated the fields, I find it more impressive. Then factoring beating a world record which has only been broken once in like 30 years, running into a headwind.. enough said. If the olympics had the 150 and 300 meters and other events a la swimming, Im sure Bolt would rack up the medal count. Oh yea he is still 21 years old.

That wasn't a very good post for your 6,000th, try and be a little more creative for your 7,000th.

Swimming doesn't have the 150 or 300, the events mimic track...100-200-400-1500.

What Phelps did would be the equivalent of Bolt winning the 100 and 200, then the 400 Hurdles and the Steeplecase.

and the Steeplecase.

Yeah, the announcers haven't mentioned that cool coincidence about 768 times.

Is beating the record by .02 of a second really "smashing" it?

When running into a slight headwind, I would say yes.
