BigBobdd Join Date Oct 2005 Posts 328 Senior Member	In the conversation... no idea how he'd compare to other great swimmers in history like Spitz. You got me thinking... That might be the more fair way. Maybe make a list of greatest athletes in each sport and then rank them. Then the list wouldn't be all track-and-field and swimmers who had more medal opportunities. well, he did beat Spitz's seven gold medal record when he tallied eight.
