Such a human story. It is what we always strive for when we have these competitions. We all want to root for our country, but sometimes athletes and their stories are compelling. Love that about the Olympics. It’s cool to see the feats of Phelps and Bolt, but than to see the human side just touches us all.

If Steiner's story doesn't bring a tear to your eye, you have no soul.
Bolt was so confident, he definitely knew he rules the game, and for more than a decade
Matthew steiner has to be one of if not the most amazing stories of the olympic's history, watching the full documentary they amde on him was beautiful

Beijing Olympics will always be my favorite : 1. Phelps's record 8 medals - unreal ♔ 2. Lightning Bolt stunning the world ⚡ 3. Roger Federer winning Olympic Gold with compatriot Wawrinka 😍❤ 4. Leo Messi's Argentina winning Olympic gold 😍🔥 5. Yelena Isinbayeva's astonishing pole vault world record 😍🔥 6. And finally India's first ever individual Olympic gold by Abhinav Bindra 🔥✊🙏 BEST OLYMPIC EVER 🙌🙌
I cried for the German weightlifter,
I think the Women's Gymnastics Chinese team winning gold was another memorable moment. It was their first. But the AA was certainly spectacular to watch.
phelps broke 7 world records, and won 8 golds..... and it was also Beijing where he became the greatest olympic champion of all time. You're telling me Usain Bolt's performance was better?

Phelps won 8 fricking GOLD medals in those games, in 7 of them he also broke a WR. As stunning as Bolt 100m run were how is that even comes close to Phelps achievement? And for all of those who say that its easy to compete in many events in swimmings how is that almost every top class swimmer competes at most in 2 events and usually in 1 single stroke? Cuz its almost impossible to be that good at those levels in so many different strokes and distances, but Phelps managed to make the impossible possible and for that he absolutley deserves the 1st spot on this list.

Bolt did 3 events and broke world records in all 3. As for the amount of events, it's literally impossible to be good at more than 4 distances, let alone world record breaking level. In running you have two types of muscles that help, fast and slow twitch muscles. Overtrain one of those muscles and the other suffers. But, if you want to do multiple distances, you're going to need a combination. However, if you do this, you won't have enough of either group, meaning you'll do worse than your competitors. That's why you only see people doing well in 2 events that are a significant distance apart (such as Bolt with his 100/200, Johnson's 200/400, Bekele's 5k/10k).

You answered your own question. Swimming has lots of strokes over short distances plus multiple relays resulting in 4 times the number of events. The risk of injury is lower since the water supports the body and there's less force on the joints.. Plus 'swimmers bodies aren't as specialized to each event as runners. A Long distance runner is super skinny but a sprinter is muscular. To get 8 medals in track you'd have to run 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1500m, 5000m, 10,000 and a relay. No way to do all that. Would tear muscle and be too exhausted to complete the heats.

The best summer olympics EVER!!! Perfect organization, the sports stars like Phelps, Bolt and Isinvayeva, and the spectacular opening and closing ceremonies!!! Congratulations from a mexican's olympic fan!!!
3:27 brought instant tears to my eyes
Usain and phelps are both incredible and the greatest in their own field of sport....it's no use comparing them...swimming an track is very different an if they both had the opportunity to do the other they may not be good at it because they both specialise in something specific.
Nice one
los mejores juegos olimpicos que hubo! con consagraciones de phelps, bolt y nadal
To all you guys saying that Phelps should have been first place instead of Bolt. You should understand that first, you cannot compare one's achievement's in sprinting to that in swimming purely based on the number of gold medals. While yes what Phelps did was out of the world, never repeated, his achievement in Beijing is defined by the 8 gold medals he won that olympics, not by one singular event. But Bolt captured the world with only one event, and he won it in such a style that will definitely not be repeated. So that's why the top moment belongs to Bolt, it shows so evidently how much better he is compared to the others.
