News Usain Bolt and Michael Phelps Agree to a Match Race in a Marsh

Usain Bolt and Michael Phelps Agree to a Match Race in a Marsh - Image 1
The two dominant Olympic athletes of the 21st Century are set to decide once and for all which man is the fastest in the world. Swimmer Michael Phelps and sprinter Usain Bolt will go head-to-head on September 1st in marshland near Jersey City, NJ. No money is on the line; only the title of world's fastest man.

"I'm excited to take on the best," said Bolt. "It's a terrain that is fair to both of us. I hope to come out on top."

Phelps and Bolt both dominated their opponents for the second consecutive Olympics in London — prompting supporters of both Olympians to make the case that their man was the greatest of the generation. With that debate as a backdrop, Bolt's representatives reached out to Phelps' people to discuss a possible showdown.

"I was in immediately. I can't wait to race Usain," said Phelps. "I have a lot of respect for him. I'm confident I can still have a good race in three to four feet of water and mud. It will be a new challenge."

Opinion The 8 Athletes in Every Olympics

The 8 Athletes in Every Olympics - Image 1

The Choker

This person has trained her entire life for this day. Never had a slice of pizza, never drank a soda, never stayed up later than 10:00 p.m. All for this one day, this one event. Today is the day all the dedication and hard work pays off! And here she goes! It's … oh … oh my. Oh my god. That was really really really bad. Hard to watch. Just complete and total heartbreak. Oh, well. It was only 20 years and an entire childhood wasted.

The Vet

Most Olympians are complete no-names. But this guy has been around before. He's one of the few faces you recognize at the start of the Games. In fact, NBC used his image to market the Olympics before they started. He may do well at these Olympics, he may not. It doesn't matter, his past success means his legacy is secured. He's mainly here to take one last go at getting laid as much as possible in the Olympic Village. Then it's off to a retirement of being in a sports drink commercial every four years.
