same for Bolt, right? wrote:
Usain Bolt was clearly overrated, too. His only individual golds were in the 100 and 200. He never won: 400, 800, 1500, 5000, 10000, marathon, steeplechase, 110 hurdles, 400 hurdles, javelin, shot put, discus, hammer throw, pole vault, high jump, long jump, or triple jump.
Totally a one trick pony. Overrated.
bolt won 6 individual golds in the 100 and 200, which are the MOST competitive running distances in the world (nearly EVERY human has tried to see how fast they can run a short sprint). That's an incredible GOAT feat.
Phelps won 1 freestyle medal
If Bolt had won a ton of medals in hurdles and relays...but only ONE 100m meter gold...we would view him differently.
