Vote on the best athlete today

After the Bejing Olympics many surveys were done to determine the best athlete today. Many voted for the Phelps and many voted for USain Bolt. What do you think? Also, what about IOC presidents reprimand of Bolt for showmanship at the games, do you agree?
Was Carl Lewis being careful or unsupportive of a great athlete when he alluded to a wait and see attitude before showering Bolt with praise? I know what i think, how about you? Let us know.
