What Michael Phelps is doing to Olympic swimming is just ridiculous, and for us, it's a chance to see perhaps the greatest Olympic performance of all time. We're very lucky to live in an age when we can see probably the greatest golfer, the greatest swimmer, and not that long ago, Michael Jordan.
Phelps has three races to go. With five golds, he currently is ahead of every nation on earth except for four. the U.S. and China are way out front, and South Korea and Germany are one ahead of Phelps with six each.
