The "best Olympian ever" thing is so hyperbolic, it's disgusting. He has won more golds because he enters eight events every Games. 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.
