Not to be disrespectful to Yoshida, but how many in women in the World do wrestling comparing to how many men do swimming? To me it's like suggesting that Isinbayeva is the greatest track and field athlete ever because she set so many WRs in an event that only started to exist.
Someone like Bolt should be comparable, at least if he wins another gold here.
I've been thinking on this some, and I'd throw Kerri Walsh-Jennings into the mix, especially if she can get a fourth gold medal
It's also not a fact, it's "scoreboard journalism"...looking at stats and stats only. Of course there's no road cyclist or weightlifter or something who has 19 gold medals..
Most medals winning Olympian obviously, but greatest? I very much disagree on that.
Name me someone else who has sustained dominance as long as Phelps
