Tanni vs Phelps? 11:50pm on 15 Aug 2008 Gooner 892: comment 18

What a stupid thing to say..
Are Lance Armstrong's achievments less valid because he used a bike???? She was in a wheel chair race, so she could hardly have competed without one..

Tanni vs Phelps? 7:53pm on 15 Aug 2008 Phelps is clearly a far superior athelete to Dame Tanni. Swimming is open to anyone, and a fairly popular sport. Wheel chair racing at the paraolympics is open to - I assume - those that need wheel chairs. If it was a popular sport that the able bodied also participated in and she had achieved the same then prehaps she could be compared to Phelps.

I imagine a comparison of Phelps's and dame Tanni's training regime would also point to the fact that he is a far superior athlete.

In short she's a paraolympian and he's an olympian. Because the vast majority of people are not disabled the olympics is far more competetive and, in purely sporting terms, superior.
