Not even close. Phelps would destroy Bolt.
Not even close. Phelps would destroy Bolt.
If it's a sprint triathlon, Bolt wins. Because he's a sprinter.
The sprint triatlon is still a 1/2 mile swim, 14 mile bike and 5k run.
Bolt would lose any of the three events to Phelps. Yes, probably even the 5k.
REAL QUESTION:
Bekele or Phelps.
Bekele would get the run and the bike. The question is how much would he be behind from the swim??
Bekele would win easilyy. Even on a slow Bekele swim Phelps couldn't gain more than 12 minutes on him.The problem with Bolt is that short sprints are anaerobic so even with his superior running skill and economy I don't know how it would translate in a 5k run that is mostly aerobic. In the combined event tri Bolt would lose badly.

Ritz would win
Win what? 2nd place or later?
Bolt would drown .
phelps wins, black people cant swim.
The real matchup: Michael Phelps vs Bekele vs Lance Armstrong.
The kings of each sport. My vote is for Lance, seeing his past accomplishments at the tri.
50% of the event is cycling. No contest.
