Who's the Greater Olympian, Michael Phelps or Usain Bolt?

Michael Phelps vs. Usain Bolt. It’s a matchup we’ll never see in the pool or on the track, but it makes for an Olympian battle in the court of public opinion.

One has the wingspan of a 747, the other a stride that’s positively equine.

The barracuda against the cheetah. The Baltimore Bullet vs. a man who wins by such crazy margins that maybe his first name should be Insane.

Both have spent their Olympic careers racing more against the clock and themselves than the competition.

If a CPA was picking who is the best, there would be no problem.
