    I used to swim competitively and I conclude that Owen Blackadder is gay.

    I've tried, but find the 4 strokes to be so diverse that

    it's just too hard for me.

    So you're just not good enough then.

    But you like to watch. Which is nice.

    I think there are seven different medals available in the olympic pool which are determined by hairstyle. Phelps won 3 of them using a combination of hair gels and wigs.

    No, it can be very boring.

    It's called being a parent. Which is nice.

    SPEAKING A COMPETITVE SWIMMER

    I cannot choose between these two men. It is not comparable.

    Bolt - Has trained specifically for those two events. Unlike Phelps he cannot take part in long distance evetns and still have a chance of winning. What Bolt did was amazing and it will be sometime before it is matched

    Phelps - won 8 golds this around and i think it was 7 beforehand if i remember rightly. The amount of work put in to that is amazing!

    Both men deserved but there can only ever be one winner.

    I think bolt won the award because of his personality. He is funny guy, dances at the end of races and generally makes people laugh with his lack of effort and glorious performances.

    Phelps however, never really shows his personality, remains focused on the task in hand. he had to considering the amount he swam. It all came out at once if i remember rightly. after the relay

    The bottom line is that both great athletes - both done wonderful things for each sport - Bolt has a louder personality. Thats why he won!

    can we let it drop now?

    Have you ever been a parent?

    If not, then you're opinion obviously isn't valid. Is it?</p>

    We can pretend that's what I'm saying if you like. I can't be arsed any more.

    I swam the Irish Sea under water, without breathing aparatus and wearing only lard as protection.

    I did dive in at the start though, which gave me about a 10 metre start before I needed to paddle franticly.

    Yes but how many Galas have you been to ? That's the true measure of swimming knowledge.
