Had anyone else ran the 200 in 19.30 into a 0.09 (iirc) head wind. Dont think so.



Same goes for Bolt and the above.
I was excluding the world/olympic records, because both guys broke world records with ease. People have won 3 golds on the track before, and it's likely to happen again. No-one has ever won 8 golds at the one olympics (and that is far less likely to happen again), and no-one has ever won as many gold medals as Michael Phelps, period.
