To me, I think Phelps beats out Bolt by a very close margin. Yes, I agree, Bolt's performance at these games was superhuman and amazing. I will wonder just how fast he could have run the 100m had he sprinted 100% of the race, instead of coasting the last 10%. However, Bolt's event is just running, putting one foot in front of the other as fast as possible. Phelps won 8 golds in swimming, sure, but they were in freestyle, butterfly, IM, relays, etc. The all-around excellence in different swimming techniques is what gives him the edge in my view.
Of course, I do hope that they both compete and succeed in 2012.
