Michael Phelps winning 8 Olympic medals in this Olympic Games, surpassing Mark Spitz’s record of 7 in 1972, makes Phelps the greatest Olympian in US history. But is Phelps the greatest Olympian ever overall?
I would rank Phelps in the top 3 alongside Carl Lewis and Dawn Fraser. To win 8 gold medals is a stunning effort-one I don’t think we’ll see for a while yet.
And there’s a possibility Phelps could surpass that mark in London in 2012.
So, does Phelps sit alongside Olympic immortals such as Fraser, Comaneci, Thompson, Perkins, Spitz as the greatest Olympian ever?
