Haha, I was wondering the same thing last night. Maybe gymnastics??
No idea?
But I am so happy for Phelps. He appears to be a genuine nice guy.

Pretty unlikely in track and field. Sprinters and long distance runners are definitely different running styles, same goes with speed skating. If someone was actually able to be dominating enough to do sprinting, jumping, and pole vaulting they would be a freak beyond Phelps.

It could be possible. Such as for sprinting, you could run 400, 100, 200, and sprinters have to be very strong so I could see them doing maybe a throwing event of 2 maybe jav and disk? Powerful legs= powerful jump so maybe long jump too. And Well the 800 isnt really distance but isnt really a sprint so Said amazing athelet would probably have to start as a 800-400 runner and then make their way to 200-100 to build up stamina and speed?
But I run at highschool level and all the atheletes are limited to 2 field events and 2 track events so maybe its not possible I am not sure how it goes in the olympics.
O and dont forget reley's like 4x100 and 4x400

I don't see them having a chance in Jav or Discus. Those are vastly different muscle groups compared to sprinting. They'd be more likely to manage the 3 individual sprints, 2 relay sprints, and the 3 jumping, then the pole vault. Thats 9, but very unlikely. Like I said, I'm not trying to diminish Phelps accomplishments by any means, but outside of swimming I just don't see how that many medals is possible.
