Well... the options I listed were
1 - The Lightening Bolt
2 - Michael Phelps
3 - Chinese women's coxless 4's
4 - Ben Ainslie
5 - GB cycling team
6 - Kenenisa Bekele
7 - Nastia Liukin
8 - Yelena Isinbayeva
9 - Tirunesh Dibaba (a criminally understated achievment)
To me Bolt takes it by a long way.
Phelps ot 8 golds sure, but if Usain could enter the 100M, the 110M, 120M while wearing a hat, the 130 when you start from a standing position, etc etc.. he could win as many medals as they could make up...
What Phelps did was great I suppose, but to be honest I dont think he brought 1/10th of he excitement to the event that Usain Bolt did... and I really do think its kind of a joke to have 4 or 5 different swimming races over the same distance when they swim in a different style.
