It's kind of skewed with some sports having several events (swimming, gymnastics) where one person can earn many medals and many that are just one unique event.
Interesting to see some variations in the mix though, like 3 on 3 basketball.
Also 8 of his medals were with the sharkskin swimsuit which was immediately banned as it conferred an absolutely immense advantage to those wearing it.
Wow, 3 Chinese top-medal-earners are what it takes to match 1 Phelps.
Incredible.
Edit: It seems only one third of the sino Olympians made it here to downvote me.
Stay mad, Phelps whopped your asses so hard. While he did that he was high as fuck on that kush. Bong rips for days, then he took his medals home and criticized his government (as he is FREE to do).
It took Montreal 30 years to pay off the debt incurred for hosting the Olympics. Host cities build vast infrastructure that is essentially disposed of after the games because there is no possible use for it absent a world event that is not going to return. Paris brags about being the "greenest Olympics ever," though clearly they are not including the vast environmental impact of inducing millions of humans to migrate across the world releasing megatons of CO2, and temporarily housing them in a place that cannot support them except in a massively unsustainable manner.
