All That Glitters

AITOOW doesn't think Michael Phelps is the greatest athlete even if he breaks Mark Spitz' records? I mean he basically does the same skill and some of those medals are team medals. At least Carl Lewis (although a prick) ran and jumped for his medals. That's two different skills. Then again he did it sans Russkies. I just don't think a swimmer can ever be considered the greatest. Now if they would dive too?
