    With 19 medals, Michael Phelps is the most decorated Olympian. But the greatest?

    Not for Sebastian Coe.

    Coe, the two-time gold medalist in the 1,500 meters and head of the London Games, is not ready to anoint Phelps as the supreme Olympian.

    "You can probably say that clearly, self-evidently, in medal tally he's the most successful," Coe said Wednesday. "My personal view is I am not sure he is the greatest, but he is certainly the most successful. That goes without saying."
