Who is the greatest Olympian of All Time?

I recently read an ESPN.com column that proclaims that Michael Phelps is the greatest Olympian of all time. However, there have been many great Olympians before Phelps that should at least get considered in the debate. Who do you think is the greatest of all time?


Is Phelps really the best ever? (sports.espn.go.com)

As a Brit I'm going to have to say Steve Redgrave. He won Gold medals at 5 consecutive Olympics in Rowing, one of the most grueling sports out there. To maintain such a high performance level for 20 years is remarkable.
