omg.. the replay is on at 2-4 am and I'm going out tonight.
Primetime Replay
Deena Kastor won bronze in the 2004 women's Olympic marathon. She tries for another in Beijing. Also, the men's 100m final yields the "World's Fastest Man."
i wish i had dvr. :'(
it's definitely impressive what he has done in swimming. i really don't know how you can rank olympians against each other though because they are all so different. Best swimmer ever? that could probably be argued

I saw an interview with Kerri Walsh (beach volleyball) where she was saying that even though she and Misti May have won 104 matches in a row without losing, they can never win more than one Gold Medal in an Olympics so they'll never be considered as one of the Olympic greats even though they're arguably more dominant in their sport than Phelps ever could be. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sport...0,1139778.story |
Star Spangled Banner...get used to the theme bitches.

My personal favorite Olympic swimmer is probably Alexander Popov.
He wasn't as versatile as Phelps, but he was so dominant and graceful at the same time within his events, the freestyle sprints. Watch him set the world record in 2000 in the 50M Freestyle:
Notice how he takes just thirty-one strokes to finish the race while everyone else takes around forty or forty-five.
The record was broken seven years later, but remember that Popov did this with no hyper-engineered body suit and no swim cap.
Anyone got a link to the Usain Bolt race? Can't find it anywhere and they already took down the video Mikey Mike posted...
