Coe: Phelps ‘not the greatest’

Sebastian Coe has refused to call Michael Phelps the greatest Olympian of all time — despite the American winning more medals than any other athlete in history.

On Tuesday, the 27-year-old claimed his 19th medal, making him the most decorated Olympian ever.

Although the Baltimore-born swimmer is “up there” with the Olympic greats, the London 2012 chairman said he did not consider Phelps to be the greatest.
