Then i can also say that running is much more easier than swimming as it is a natural human activity so anyone who gets gold medal by running or jumping is not that great!!!

You are just underminning the greatest history in Olympics itself and trying to throw mud at the person who is i would say an example of discipline, hardwork and determination. to swim everyday more than 5 hours is no joke and he was determined at his every game.

I started watching olympics just to kill time this year but Michael Phelps taught me the greatest lesson in life - that one need to be determined in life to win and can make the impossible a possibility. Whether you agree or not does not matter to him as his name will be written in history now forever as one of the greatest man.
