I am not knocking his record, but they should add running backwards and skipping so Bolt has a chance to keep up.
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.

This isn't the same as being able to do a Freestyle at X distance, then hop back into the pool, do a more inefficient stroke at the same distance of X, and get yet another medal for it.
A logically similar situation would be Bolt running the 100, then being able to run it backwards. Then Bolt run the 200M, then run it backwards, and so on.
