Almost an eight second drop in the span of 8 years. Arguably the greatest athlete of all time.

I don't have to argue it. The results are there. He'll be the most accomplished Olympic athlete ever after this one and he's only 23.

Not denying what he accomplished, but you can't annoit a 23yr old as the "greatest athlete of all time"

I really could care less about swimming, but Torres last leg was cool to watch

I said arguably and you can't deny he's on the short list. To do so would be completely ridiculous.

Just how many times does he have to break a world record? At least 100, 200?

What a bunch of Hackers those Chinese are. Guys tried to give Chris Paul and elbow, but Paul was just too fast for the guy.
