its true i'll admit it i was SHOCKED when i learned that Thorpe was gay. but who cares. its not your fault if your gay you dont choose it. besides thorpe is one of the best swimmers ever and no one can take that away its true Phelps won 8 gold medals, broke 50 in the 100 fly, and is an amazing swimmer, but back in the day Thorpe was the best and is still. When thorpe comes back to London he's going to have to catch up with the times but he'll still hopefully make Australias name known again
the gay thing is so boring and obsolete, whether Ian is gay or not doesn't diminish him or his achievements in any way, he definitely has a fairplay and elegant attitude when speaking of Phelps and let's not judge Thorpe's fat ass since he's retired for some time and then again since he's retired is futile to compare him with any competitor swimmer and decide who's better. Fact is Ian was best in his era and so is Phelps, when they competed against each other in Athens Thorpe won over Phelps
Again I say, Thorpe is a has-been, wannabe swimmer who hates on Phelps! Michael could beat Thorpe's fat ass (have you seen Thorpe lately?) right now in his sleep. Matter of fact, Nathan Adrian could wipe the floor with Ian in the freestyle. I think Australia needs to admit that their men's team sucks! The Aussie women are more impressive! For right now, Japan and Russia are the real serious competition for Team USA. How many medals did the Aussie men win at 2009 Worlds? Not much!
@samuelflower it's phelps who hates thorpe,not the contrary.Thorpe has everything:a great achievement,millions of dollars,fame,popularity and he's so hot ,sexy,cute(when he's thin)whereas phelps has nothing except his medals.This fucking bastard earned his first million of dollar at 23 whereas ian was a multimillionaire at 16,phelps is anonymous in his own country,he' s so ugly,even a monkey is sexier than him and he' s such a bad person(he took drug,was arrested because he was drunk )THE TRUTH
@tonibfan This comment made me laugh. All phelps has are his medals? Lmao! Isnt that all that matters? And why in the hell does it matter when who got their millions first? Phelps won 8 gold medals in front of the world, has millions upon millions and proved thorpe wrong who said he couldnt win the 8 gold medals. Thorpe and phelps are both ugly in my opinion, but this is about winning medals in the olympics not posing for calvin klein. Phelps>thorpe
But the Fact An American who game 3rd in 2000 and came no where in the World Champ untill 2003 and then 2008..
But the FACT!! AN IRISH WOMEN Michelle Smith hammered the FUCK out of the American top Swimmers the Americans came out and Said she was on Drugs she was TESTED Before and After EVERY RACE!!! But If an American Broke Every Record hes called a HERO FUCK YOU!!!!
seriously, phelps supporters you all just need to stop bashing Ian just b/c he thought phelps couldn't do it and so Ian was proved wrong. Good for phelps.
who the fuck cares if Ian is gay. just b/c someone is gay doesn't take away his swimming talent and or achievements.
@cutengirly ian thorpe is GAY i never new that seriously lol wow swimming and gay together...eeewww i guess = ian thorpe but im still an ian thorpe fan but more of a micheal phelps fan lol
@cutengirly Listen we get a kick out of it. Nothing feels better when somebody tellls you can't do something and then you end up eating your own words like Thorpe did in 08. Its the reason why the 2000 race against the americans felt good because there was trash talk. Don't act like you don't do it.
I think thorpe is gay. Just seems like a gay dude. Not taking anything away from him, hes probably the 2nd or 3rd greatest swimmer ever, but yeah, i think hes gay.
Phelps and Thorpe were NEVER friends! Liar,liar pants on fire! Ian is a great swimmer but he should have kept his elistist, arrogant mouth shut about Phelps! Ian was once a favourite of mine but I was disappointed when he dissed Phelps! Boo! The Australian swim team is hot though!
Dissing someone and being respectfully honest are completely different things..perhaps you need to go back and actually listen to what his comment was verbatim !!
