thats just cuz swimming has so many events. olympic medals is a poor way of establishing how dominant someone is anyway, as it's only every 4 years. bubka set 35 world records, but only won 1 olympic gold medal.
It's still insanely difficult to do and incredibly dominant, otherwise a bunch of other swimmers would have a dozen gold medals as well. There's only 30 male Olympians with with more than 5 gold medals, and only 3 of them are swimmers.
Setting 35 world records isn't so amazing in a sport where you can break the record by 1 cm at a time. There's also weight lifters with just as many world records because they break the record by 1kg at a time.
you can break the swimming world record by 1 mili second lol, your argument is dumb.
Also i agree with Drone there are just so many styles and distances in swimming is not fair to other spots, you dont see "100m dash with flailing your arms around" event, "100m running like a duck" event do you?

LOL except that Sebastian Vettel just smashed every single record Schumacher had, plus he isnt even considered the best F1 driver and also was a cheat.

Browsing through your hand histories makes me wonder that you might not be aware these games are possibly play money. Have you ever tried to cash out? - Kapol

Tell that to his team mates.
At least the records that are not gained by career lenght, Vettel was more dominant this season than Schumacher were in any year of his career.
Schmacher isnt widely considered the best F1 driver, many people will say Senna, Proust Fangio or others.
Schumacher also has the record for black flags in Formula 1 and has always been a dirty driver, plus he cheated multiple times in his career with launch control in Benetto and also his team cheated in pits re-fuling with no filter in the hose.
The team 2nd river does not have the same car than the main driver, obviously Barichellos Ferrari wasnt the same, it was the test car for Schumacher, thats why Schumachers Ferrai has the record as the most reliable F1 champion car while you see Barichello's car blowing up and randomly loosing wheels so often.

srsly tho, that swiss chump doesnt even have a Grand Slam, cmon

You realize that at pole vaulting a jumper can just set the bar at 5,01m, jump 7m and the new record will be 5,01m right? Then on his next jump he can set it on 5.02m and break the record, then 5.03m and break the record, right? A sprinter or swimmer can't determine that he is going to swim exactly 0.01s better than his previous record. Else every athlete in the world would do it as they get paid for broken records.

hard to really put a single man dominating a sport like racing...where the engineers/prep team/pit crews have so much to do with the shortterm and longterm success of the team. not to mention more R&D money = win in many racing sports.
