The Olympics have come and gone, and they were awesome. But no one was more awesome than Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt. So Tasty Booze decided to ask; would you rather be an Olympic champion in swimming or track? And you said track all the way. I thought Phelps and his 8 golds might carry a little more weight, but 67% of people didn’t care.
I think either way, you are pretty much going to be golden, literally. Both will get crazy amounts of endorsement deals, both winners won’t have any problem with the ladies, both are in the shape of their lives. But when you get down to the practical aspects of the talent, I think track speed has gotta be preferable. If someone is trying to kick your ass, swimming away likely isn’t going to help much unless you are on a party barge. If you are late for the bus, again, swimming isn’t going to be that awesome, but you might just be able to catch it on the run and hurdle some folks on the way. And of course, if you really have to go to the bathroom…
