Rest of the world are you even trying?

Rest of the world are you even trying?

>ameriswims

Yeah, but could Phelps do 1/3 of his events whilst wearing bronze armour and carrying a shield?

Could he do it on a rainy night at Marathon?

>they're all black

Do you need any proofs we wuz kangz n shiet?

Why are they naked?

>black kings

never existed, they were merely marionettes

Except for the Hoplitodromos and chariot events, the Ancient Olympics were held in the nude. They had loincloths at first, then decided to get rid of them.

to be faster

dick and balls would create significant drag though

the truth is whole ancient greece was pretty homo and thus they went nude to distract the others

Damn that's hot

>Aquaman carries entire team

More like

>Rest of America are you even trying?

I thought that was only in the Greek news.
Interesting.

We need to bring back more foot race events to give runners a chance, otherwise every "Greatest" Olympian is going to a swimmer.

100m wearing arm gear, 5000m while dodging infatry fire, etc.

since the rest of the world is not investing as much into a single sport i guess >we are not trying

the onlympics back then had less than 10 event in total.

or we could stop making dumb comparisons between disciplines

Swimming is so fucking lame, it's really no wonder the ancient greeks didn't admit it to the olympics

I'm just saying that no non-swimmer can ever come close to Phelps's records because there are not enough events to win in.

If greatest olympian is going to be measured by number of medals, it's always going to be a swimmer.

Would you like extra salt on those french cries?

yeah I agree

i'm saying that any comparison between the GOATS of the different disciplines is pointless now athletes are specialised in one area

if someone came in and won golds in swimming and running and cycling and rowing then yeah they would be the olympic GOAT

but no one will so there are a bunch of irreconcilable olympic GOATS

I'm sorry but if you think a faggot doped up swimmer who won like a fifth of the fifty swimming medals every olympics is anywhere near as GOAT as some ancient greek who swept ALL the sprinting events multiple olympic games in a row then you're delusional

>he could sprint better than phelps could swim

Poo Peeland is even worse than Australian posters

He never lost at those olympics. He won all three running events sixteen years straight.

Phelps can't compete with that. The only reason he is even being compared to Leonidas of Rhodes is because swimming medals are handed out like candy at the olympics

Bullshit they are 44 track and field medals and that's not even including meme running events like racewalking or marathons

Have another go at reading that you obtuse yank

>marathon is a meme event

wew lad
just wew

BREAKING NEWS:

The Olympics committee have postponed the sprinting events in order to arbitrarily invent 5 new running styles, each imitating a stroke in swimming. Usain Bolt - who once stood to win 3 medals from 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay -stands to win 15 medals!

He could try the long jump, or hurdles.

Phelps can try diving too

Hurdles, primarily running. Long jump, primarily based on lead-up speed, and, oh yeah, a number of sprinters also won gold medals in it.

Diving, which only requires swimming to the point that you don't drown when you hit the water.

Worthless comparison, but good try.

>all track and field events are the same

Swimming medals don't count

Only Athletics should be in the olympics

I cannot WAIT for this autistic mongo to retire so I never have to see his meme slapping 'medals' on this board again.

The United States is one of a handful of countries where the government invests no money directly into their Olympic athletes. The only money these athletes receive from the government is if they medal, and even that amount is pathetic and not anywhere near enough to live off of. The government will invest some money into training facilities, but so do most first world countries.

Long story short, the rest of the world is investing as much into a single sport. They just aren't as good at the sport as >us.

>400,000 swimming events
>surprised when a swimmer breaks a record
Fair play to Phelps for being the best at it but when you get like 6 times as many gold medal opportunities as the other guy, you're not better, in my opinion.

There is something similar, it's called the decathlon, but you only get one metal

Phelps is a pool babby; could he swim that well on land?
I don't think so.

Not everyone has access to a pool compared to running. That's why there are no black swimmers. They just run instead of swimming. Same thing goes for speed skating. I wanna try that, but I don't live near that shit either
