is ryan lochte better?


No. Ryan Lochte is garbage. He came into the olympics thinking he was the next Phelps. Did he win 8 medals? no. He made the U. S. lose a relay.

Lochte is not "clutch" Phelps is, and Michael Phelps is by far the best Olympic swimmer in history.

Haha, so funny. No Olympian is garbage, every single Olympian is unbelievable fascinating in his or her event. You need to be the very best to qualify for the Olympics.

Hard to say who is the very best Olympian, in my very biased Canadian opinion I'd have to say Sidney Crosby or Sinclair

not necessarily, depends on what you mean by better. fastest, best technique, role model, etc.

That's true he isn't terrible, but in London he wasn't even rivaling Phelps. Phelps is an old man, he didn't train his hardest the past few years and still kicked Lochte's butt.

Lochte is the same age as Phelps. So get your facts straight XVERB.

Phelps is seriously the best Olympian. It isn't that I like him (I do, but) he is the most decorated Olympian in the history of the Olympics. Therefore, the best Olympian is Michael Phelps.

He is the best swimmer, but I think decathlon athletes are better in general. They have to do 10 different events and be good at all of them.

decathlon is 10 events. I'm sure. And the winner of the Decathlon is usually considered the best athlete in the world after winning.
