3 gold medals already

>3 gold medals already

Why is this allowed?

Did he win again?

You should tell him it's *current year* and that he needs to let PoC win too

He won't another relay last night

Either him or Lochte will win tonight

>be athlete in event that gives out dozens of gold medals
>people act surprised when he gets dozens of gold medals
If sprinting or weight lifting had the same event dozens of times over with slight variations Usain Bold and Pyrros Dimas would have 20+ medals as well.

someone earlier today called him a stat padder...
at the olympics...

His gold per capita count is better than slovenia

Track has just as many. Not our fault bolt is too lazy to train for multiple events.

*whispers* h-holy shit.

Sprinting is to track & field what swijmming is too diving, I don't see Phelps winning any medals there

>he thinks swimming is huge in the US
Poor, poor Brashill.

>Sprinting is to track & field what swijmming is too diving
Nice damage control. Phelps literally has to practice different strokes, you aren't automatically able to do butterfly just because you can do freestyle.

Phelps alone beats everyone

well 2bh swimming is the ultimate stat padding sport

Sprinting does have as many medals. 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1500m, 5000m, 10,000m, 20,000m racewalk, marathon, 110m hurdles, 4x100m relay, 4x400m relay, 3000m steeplechase.

Nothing stops Usain Bolt from entering all the men's sprinting. There's no reason why he couldn't train for these 13 events, and yet he hasn't because he's an inferior athlete to Michael Phelps.

Literally the same shit, you're just swimming in a straight line

Don't forget pic related and Ledecky too

>says this about any sport team USA is wrecking in at the moment

>Sprinting is to track what swimming is to diving

This doesn't make any sense. If track and field is the broader umbrella term, then the "diving" of track and field would be shit like the javelin throw. Track and field and aquatic are the umbrella terms, swimming is directly comparable to sprinting. No excuse why Phelps can win all of swimming (but not all of aquatic) while no athlete can win all of sprinting (but not all of track and field).

It is if you're white, cuck

You literally cannot be in olympic shape for the 100 and any distance 3k+ at the same time. I doubt Bolt could medal in anything longer than the 400 unless he was willing to give up the 100.

Only white upper-class homosexuals living in the Hamptons swim. Proven fact.

>800
>1500
>5000m
>10,000m
>20,000m racewalk
>marathon
>sprinting

so why doesnt Bolt do hurdles?

its just the "same shit", running in a straight line

Post a pic of yourself cuck

>I doubt Bolt could medal in anything longer than the 400 unless he was willing to give up the 100.

And yet swimmers can easily be in shape for a 100m swim and an 800m swim at the same time?

>his neighborhood didnt have a swim club that competed against other neighborhoods

Stay poor, Pedro

There is no 800m men at the olympics.

Actually, why doesn't Bolt do long jump?

>Sprinting is to track & field what swijmming is too diving, I don't see Phelps winning any medals there
absurd.

Why is "great" Britain allowed if they never win anything

So why doesn't Peaty just compete in all of the events? He' clearly great at the butterfly, so he should just go and win all the other golds right?

Surely being Michael Phelps is super easy.

>his neighborhood did
Stay gay, Richard.

Events that should die in swimming are all the breaststroke/butterfly/backstroke/medley/relay medley those are the ones inflating the medal count.

Just keep it freestyle, Phelps is godlike however being the god at a swimming can bring you easy medals thanks to all the variations of the same distance.

Imagine being the absolute GOAT of decathlon, going to a shit ton of 7 olympics and winning them all, yet you only got 7 medals not even enough to get on the top twenty all time.

tldr; quantity of medals is a shit measure stick of GOATness between different sports.

>inflate the medal count
Quit whining over sports you're bad at. It's an exciting competition to watch. That's why there are more events. They have to balance out professional cheese grating and these other joke sports included for no-name nations.

But, the decathlon world record holder gets to have the official title of "world's greatest athlete", so that's pretty cool.
