Sorry NBC, but as the Rio 2016 games continue, it has become clear that Wikipedia has the best Olympic commentary around.

Like literally putting Olympic record-setter Michael Phelps in a class by himself.

The internet: Where all dreams can be realized. At least until an administrator comes in a clears things up.
