🎤 Usain Bolt vs. Michael Phelps  vs.  The Greatest Olympian on :

Alright, let’s do this. Game on!

**Round 1**

**Usain Bolt:** Yo! Usain Bolt here. "Greatest Olympian"? Let's be real. Speed. Power. Dominance. Nobody remembers second place. I left the field in my dust, baby! They still studyin' my form. Thirteen seconds, nine point five eight, I'm an icon. Michael, love you man, but legs beat fins on dry land. That gold flash on the track is the real GOAT shine. You stayed underwater way too long.
**(Word count: 94)**

**Michael Phelps:** Michael Phelps here. With all due respect, Usain, those legs only get you so far. I dominated in the pool - 28 medals. 23 gold. And I had to maintain that dominance for YEARS! My stamina and sheer number of wins blow you out of the water. I mastered a variety of strokes; what can you do outside of sprinting, huh? I built a legacy in the pool no one can touch. Don’t get lost at sea with me!

**Round 2**

**Usain Bolt:** Legacy? Please, Michael! People still trying to imitate that bolt pose. It's etched into pop culture, man! One track, a pure demonstration of force. 9.58? Still standing. Endurance is impressive, I'll grant you, but sprinting is primal. My records define how fast a human *can* run. Twenty eight medals isn't bad though, I still have mad respect to you and how you can take swimming pool to extreme!

**Michael Phelps:** Oh, etched into pop culture, is it? I’m building houses with the pool industry! But those are merely impressions. What lasts longer than that is setting and re-setting and re-setting record for Olympics, you think you are amazing? Consider I made more Olympics in life, I could give a clinic of all water related training skills, not a bad business plan right!

**Round 3**

**Usain Bolt:** Building houses? Look man, charity is good, don't get me wrong. It doesn't impact records. Remember you can build houses on dry land too right?! Nobody's building stadiums to honour your strokes! Speed trumps strategy most times. Look at soccer or basketball? Sure, they all are quick enough but they can’t touch my record when it comes to Olympic sprint games! So put some respeck to my name.
**(Word count: 97)**

**Michael Phelps:** Soccer and basketball rely on teams! Swimming is you, the water and your will. How can you do that, alone in life? That determination is rare! As much as I would enjoy seeing the fastest people play basketball or soccer games, but they are still dependently on collaboration not a one man show just like you and me! And I was talking bout pools, build your house on the top of your personal pools? Imagine that!

**Round 4**

**Usain Bolt:** "Will," ha! Bolt to the finish line in less than ten seconds. Raw, unadulterated *speed*. Who can compete? The only test of mental endurance of mine, is waiting at the starting block! I don’t need teammates when I beat them by multiple body lengths! Now the real challenge for me, I don’t know which to have it first, pool or land, can you build both though?! That sounds more ambitious!
**(Word count: 93)**

**Michael Phelps:** Sure! You want a challenge, Bolt? Let’s swap sports. You hit the pool for my distance. And I would like to see whether you still bolt in land in a proper way with a correct mentality when the only endurance is you! You seem fit for a pool-type building more and more, you sound too comfy with swimming pools. I just like those pools around my area being more active to motivate other younger athletes!

**Round 5**

**Usain Bolt:** Hit the pool? I can doggy paddle faster than you *bolt* on land, bro! Kidding...kind of. Let’s stay where legends belong: the track. Track athletes become icons! Look, can anyone ever touch either one of our medals and legacies? Can any kid dream that can bolt as quick as 9.58 on land or glide on pool like dolphin as you did?! So can we stick what are better at now.
**(Word count: 90)**

**Michael Phelps:** Oh, please. Legends belong where they conquer, and I conquered the pool, over and over and over. Staying comfortable gets you beat! I already broke swimming so many times when I had so much gold, what's wrong changing environment once! To go back where our old legends started their gold. How about this deal! A documentary where we travel and inspire children, and also exchange what is important on land or in water for their lives?

**Round 6**

**Usain Bolt:** Conquering a single straight line still outranks laps after laps and conquering many forms, but hey. A documentary! Not bad, that. Give the kids real insight... the focus, dedication to training on a real form is no joke. Deal then. I guess what comes next will either turn a splash or bolt so strong, depends what skills those younger folks choose! I think both could have a blast.
**(Word count: 89)**

**Michael Phelps:** Perfect! Show the world the grit that goes into greatness and the humility, you and me should work together to motivate the new athletes in life no matter what conditions or places they are, or what challenges they should. People from track or from pools all come with so much persistence! After all we should know if they will fly like bolt or glide in pools like water in our Olympics legacies for years
**(Word count: 95)**

**Round 7**

**Usain Bolt:** Exactly. Humility's key, even though I look fly doing it. Look Michael, from day 1 when our passion started til the moment where the flash and applause starts, it is the perseverance and hardwork from start. No champion ever come without suffering! Glad you brought up humbleness so youngsters know, no easy victory will come with laziness. Time for training kids starts!
**(Word count: 84)**

**Michael Phelps:** Speaking of starting: people will wonder! Because they will now watch two greatest Olympics in sports sharing stories! I look forward of discussing your background in tracks as I prepare my stroke to swim in my lane. People often asks what's after greatness. Legacy? Nope: our new kids from our sports are! No kids is inferior than adults in our mind because both are the seed of sports.

**Round 8**

**Usain Bolt:** Our "origin" stories. I love that. They see the finish, not the start. It's the grit and all those grueling runs in sun... they are all priceless for athletes! My high school trainers never thought I would break that. Everyone deserves motivation like us because even with small victories, our story started somewhere! They may exceed either one of our greatest skills but they are the core of the Olympics legends we made as both champions!
**(Word count: 93)**

**Michael Phelps:** True! Even in the start I wasn't fastest so don’t worry what level you guys are. That feeling in water, is just water until you transform from dolphin to fish, no champions started like fish when everyone in the pool dives in for start. Everyone sees Olympics medals; Noone sees all the sacrifices during practices after school until late to be stronger from competitors to conquer fear in challenges. Both legends or not, still started humble!
**(Word count: 92)**

**Round 9**

**Usain Bolt:** From small-town kid, with way too long legs, to "Lightning Bolt" so everyone got to know who lightning bolts is today for records, no one ever imagine if it came so easy to be like lighting as an element! Anyone listening? You’ve gotta work. You must work extra as they see success differently based from person! This whole documentary just feels inspirational to many folks where track will always become fun forever!
**(Word count: 89)**

**Michael Phelps:** From asthmatic kid to most decorated Olympian ever? Not even me imagined. My breathing sucks without all those efforts where challenges could feel very scary and dark where darkness only feels longer each step for victories. And you just never give up to swim the way out with courage. That’s water version of “Never Say Never.” Water became both my healing, safe space, and playground! Our experiences really could provide values.
**(Word count: 91)**

**Round 10**

**Usain Bolt:** Right. Underdog to gold... now it's over-dog to coach! It can make a difference where their legends were as underdogs as children so many youth and athletics in both fields could believe as our experiences show! Time for the doc, Mike. We inspire a generation! What an epic debate, eh?! That all are legends start small! That lightning strikes, then everyone strikes! We end strong to begin strong!!
**(Word count: 88)**

**Michael Phelps:** You said it best Bolt, from track start to swimming start we’ve started everything the same. Let's make those lights shine across water or land as no matter challenges come always strike what comes to it just like what we are capable to and we are proud both for it!. We will teach them about fear, perseverance and believing anything truly is possible, it just starts humble to the greatest as no limits can stop people ever be when start and the greatest end always starts with people's love. Deal! Let us shake on this!
