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.

Well it's difficult for a sport like Tennis or boxing or Judo to equal This record They only win 1 medal So i agree with you yes he is very good but i don't think he is the greatest also.

Just found this forum- thank goodness! hope you don't mind an Australian being here.

 

Has been a great couple of days. Loving the newer swinning countries getting some medals. As for us today the less said about Roberts and Magnussen please, they both swam like they had a 3 day bender!

Some of them. Seebolm had an absolute shocker today though, albeit she can't be worse tomorrow in the final.

 

Canada have been doing well too, punching well above your weight.

Welcome!  Yes, Canadian women (and some men!) are doing very well in the pool.  The best part is most of them are still in high school, so the future is looking bright for our program after decades of despair.
