Michael is not better than thorpe, and on this olympics he won 8 medals because he didn't have the concurency from 2004...and yes also he did't won 100 m fly
i find it really sad that there are AWESOME people like him, that dont get any attention because michael phleps took a few more gold medals. so what. i no micheal is great, but so are people like ian and nobodys even heard of him. SAD!!!!
i think 8 gold medals in one olympics is something great, true there are other great ones, but phelps has surpassed them... Ian deserves his greatness so does Phelps
I love swimming, this guy challenged me to a swimming sprint race over 100m in the school pool tomorrow so im trying to make sure I got my technique spot on so i can thrash him, but I'm no way near as good as any of the greats such as Thorpe, hell maybe one day...
well thats obvious that he makes more money. thanks for pointing out hte obvious i think what hellangel guy was saying is that americans dont really follow swimming except for phelps so thorpe isnt really known here
its true americans unless your really into swimming dont know thorpe, i know their like celebs over their but if you were to ask a random american who ian thorpe is they would have no idea
HellAngel756..... He is from Australia and not from Australlia.... have you ever been in a place named school?.... they teach people how to read and write and I think you should try it!
calm down man... ur screen name IS HOMO. I'm living in los angeles now and I've heard how american broadcaster makes a big deal of what Ian said... if u actually watch his interview w/ Australian tv.. he complimented Phelps's accomplishment... dont be such a "jerk" as u americans love say it!!!

Thorpe the fucktard can eat shit. He smacktalked Michael Phelps saying he didn't have it in him to get 8 gold medals. Phelps thanks him for the motivation though.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
feeeeerrt! what a homo and he had the cheek to talk down at phelps,does anyone know the real reason he quit....???? would it be steroids??????what a fag!
muy buen video con su cacnion, estan las imagenes mas conocidas de Thorpe, que perdida para el mundo de la natacion que este gran nadador no siga asombrandonos.
u know sometimes i get mad that ill never be able to get there not even with all my hard swimming ive been doing since childhood because im not as tall as the standars and wont be :( h well :D
one-way true believers ( always blind when the cheating side is the australian one ) aussie guys on here.
No wonder, we know so well how big liars and shameless hypocrites they can be , they're like the kids : they could do everything to win and they're the worst sore loosers on the earth .
Try to grow up , ridiculous & pathetic little brains ......
diving ?? Not our fault if you aussies pretend to talk of a sport not knowing the rules ( sorry for you but by the rules that penalty was a right one , just get informed and learn the game's rules )......
but we do know so well what kind of double-faced hypocrite cheaters the australians are
and how childish liars they are !
So, we won't take any lesson of sportmanship and honesty by such a bunch of shameless dopped cheaters as the australians.
And we didn't win the World Cup by diving ( the team who dived to get a cheated penalty in semifinal and final game was France, again get informed if u don't know instead of posting so ridiculous and totally false nonsenses ) : we won the Cup as best team having the best tactic/ tech skills and being the most organized team .
No wonder, 'cos Italy together with Brazil and Argentina is the legend of football .
I know you're australian so you know nothing about that,
but just ask any brasilian and he will confirm my words and maybe you will learn a bit of the game ( maybe, even if I doubt about that ).
Stick to your dopped australian cunts and don't blame who by true facts and not by false words play by the rules : cheating and robbing hundreds of olympic medals by your national teams doping is what you australians can do best together with crying like babies and being pathetic sore loosers .
thorpe was cleared u sound like nothing short of a goose. As for sportsmanship.... don't talk about sportsmanship you wouldn't know it if it came up and hit you in that oversized nose of yours.
maybe your just pissed that there's no referees to pay off in a swimming race. That when it's purely a test of skill and ability that the italians regularly fail to measure up and are found left wanting. Im proud to be Australian and I'm proud to call people like Ian Thorpe Australian, u can have your world cup share it with your fans who throw flairs at goal keepers and kill rival fans during riots. Store it in a museum next to your portraits of national heroes like Benito Mussolini.
Ian chose this song very well, because while some take action, others only search 4 ways 2 blame everybody & everything around them 4 their loss... except themselves, of course !
Some pathetic one-way aussie & redneck "sportmen" , who ridiculously talk of bs as " fearness" or "honesty" only when they loose but never when they rob their cheated medals & victories , hurted by the truth when it comes to doping & cheating in sports ......XDDD
Typical double-faced anglosaxon attitude
YOU are so pathetic & ridiculous and just put all the robbed medals in your cheating
Hahaha you poor brain dead ... you should go get your mum out from prostitution in stead of posting your dumb ass stupid lines.... you are soo pathetic.
Ian Thorpe was truly an unbelievable swimmer! He will be remember in history as one of the sports greatest. I wish him all the best in future endevours.
