I do not agree. What Phelps has done in swimming is unmatched by runners outside of those that compete in the decathlon. He was the WR holder in the IM and Fly events while being elite in the middle distance freestyle. That diversity would be equivilent to begin the best at the 100m and 400m dash and the hurdles. Outside of Mark Spitz, no swimmer has dominated like this, and none can match the longevity. He qualified for the Olympics at age 15 in 2000 in the 200m Fly. Truly unmatched.

That's not very bright knowledge about swimming.
What has bolt done but run in a straight line?
Bolt isn't being held back in track in keeping up with Phelps
Bolt can compete in Phelps's discipline...
Bolt has the 100, 200, 400, 800, 1500, 110 hurdles, 400 hurdles, 4x100 relay, 4X400 relay, steeplechase...
He isn't being held back - he has multiple disciplines of speed and endurance and a broad range of skills and medals if he could master it. Just like swimmers and most who specialize like runners nut few who master all specialities.

There is even walking, and bolt sucks at it.
