Battle of the Sporting Heroes

BARNES OUT
Kind of funny that Bolt and Phelps have drawn each other. On weight of achievement there's no way you could vote for Bolt over Phelps, people seem to vote for the charisma though.

Anyway:

Cruyff, Phelps

Bolt won the 2009 Athlete of the year award over Phelps.

So much more exciting being the fastest runner in the world than someone who gets World Records mainly in Medley Events.

So? By weight of achievement and longevity Phelps is light years ahead, but Bolt is more charismatic so people like him more, hence Athlete of the Year awards and winning polls etc.

As with Smitteh's comment I agree and thats exactly why I voted Bolt. The guy has the hero personality.

Cruijff, Phelps

though it's closer than Smitteh says on achievement. Two world record times, including one that was supposed to be unbeatable. I know Phelps has beaten records left, right and centre, but in swimming there's been so many suit developments etc. so it's not quite the same.
