Phelps vs. Lochte




                                  Michael Phelps 

Michael Phelps is the best swimmer to jump in the pool. Michael had worked every day in the pool for the last four years. Out of his twenty-two medals eighteen are gold, two silver, and two bronze. In 2008 Beijing Michael broke Mark Spitz's record from six gold medals in one Olympic to seven gold medals. Clearly, America's best swimmer is Michael Phelps.

                                                 Ryan Lochte

Arguably, Ryan Lochte is one of America's best swimmer's. Everyone (well most) people believe that Ryan Lochte never will, or never has been as good as Michael Phelps. Ryan has won eleven Olympic gold medals. That is half of Michael Phelps medals! This means that Michael had won at least two more medals then him at a single Olympics. Out of his eleven medals five are gold. He had won two gold in the 2012 Olympics in London. Therefore, Ryan is the second best swimmer in America.
