I wonder who would win if they did a triathalon


swimming, biking then running...lets say swimm 200M---run 400M---and then bike for 2 miles


Id pay to watch this on payperview

 

[Harvey Dent]

I dont think he meant it like it came out, just didnt know what to call himself

 

[RupertPupkin]

Maybe in Jamaica they call sprinters athletes

 

[jwunderdog]

unless Bolt swims Phelps would dust him. Phelps would have a 1 minute lead after the 200 meter free.

I'm sorry, I got this from another fourm, apparently that is not what he said/meant.

This guy is hilarious.

My respect for this guy has gone up even more.

Bolt's an idiot.

Good thing the Olympics don't host a spelling Bee

Phelps would probably win all three legs -- sprinters are notoriously bad at long distances.

I get what you are saying but I am pretty sure Bolt would blow Phelps out in a 400m race, that is less than a minute of sprinting. I think he could sprint 200 of the meters and then slow it down and jog to an easy victory.

What triathelon has a 400m run?

None that I know of. I am just going with what the poster wrote above your comment about his race.

“I won’t compare myself to Michael Phelps,” he said. “He is a great athlete. I’m on the ground. He’s in the water.”

Is what Bolt said, to be exact.

You're right - I thought that was the swimming part.

Haha, that's not even close to what the OP posted.

Bolt would whipe his ass with Phelps in the 400, of course Phelps would make whipe his ass with Bolt in swimming.

Bolt is awesome. I have respect for Phelps because what he did was great, but to me Bolt is on another level. He's the type of guy you love to cheer for also. Most of the people here (not including me before all you Americans go crazy) were hoping Phelps would lose and hate his cockiness, but I do not know of one person that dislikes Bolt or wanted him to lose.

Too bad that isn't what he really said. That would have been hilarious.

Bolt's a F***K tard and a classless one at that. I can't stand anyone who doesn't have respect for their competitors. He's all about me, me, me and can't spend two seconds congratulating anyone else but himself after a race. He's too arrorgant and self centered. I guess if you love a person like that then that tells a lot about who you are. There's a place for guys like that called the Hall of Shame.
