You won't spoil anything for me.Michael Phelps won his 20th and 21st gold medals tonight, including blowing the doors off of the South African who was trying to taunt him last night.
Serious question--is Phelps the most dominant athlete of this generation? He's currently at 21 golds. 2nd place all-time is 9. It's like if Tiger would have won about 40 majors. I realize he swims a lot of events, but he's done this over 5 Olympics now. That's crazy impressive.
If the beach volleyball chick wins her fourth gold medal, it's no contest. She's never lost a match in the Olympics. She's only ever lost one set. And volleyball is a lot tougher than swimming. Phelps won't even be the most dominant American in Rio, never mind the most dominant athlete of his generation.
We may just have to agree to disagree on that one. But Walsh has a much better ass than Phelps.

Re: 8/9 GC
Both feats are pretty amazing. 21 gold, i mean holy shit. And not losing a match in Olympic play. Those are both crazy. I watch the volleyball match last night. It was brutal. They killed those Chinese gals. Idk how you can compare the two because they are so different but they have both accomplish remarkable things.
