Umm In his own words pre Beijing he was not always the hardest of workers. Remember phelps once never tools day off in 5 years leading up to Athens. Just because Lochte is only now taking a page from Phelps doesn't make him suddenly more deserving. He has a long way before he has put in the work Phelps has, which is why Phelps will always be remembered as the greatest Olympian in history.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37388994.post-38119855614835120502011-07-13T07:09:26.219-07:002011-07-13T07:09:26.219-07:00HAHAHA

My response was, "I think that's up to Michael".<br /><br />Honestly, I stopped questioning anything this man sets his sights on. If Michael wants to win something, he'll win it. If the stress and pressure of training for World Championships is too much after all he's done for the sport, maybe he and Bob are continuing to simply build up for London. Ultimately, while World Championships are cool, long term general public has very little interest in them, and Michael will always be remembered as the greatest Olympian ever.<br /><br />Maintaining the training it takes to be that over the past 10 years and continuing it on is a lot to ask from someone and as a legacy is concerned, I'd bet that's what they're shooting for.<br /><br />If I'm wrong, who cares, he already IS the greatest Olympian ever. That is his legacy already. Not too shabby, and anything else from here on is simply gravy.Glennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979127306262635607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37388994.post-32607448072963513722011-07-12T18:57:18.160-07:002011-07-12T18:57:18.160-07:00A fool bets against Michael Phelps.

He'll win the 100 fly in a walk; wouldn't be surprised to 50-point low, he'll take the 200 fly fairly handily and I do believe he's got the stones to hold off Park, Lochte, Biederman and Sun Yang in the 200 free. That, though, I think will be the race of the men's side of the meet.TedBakernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37388994.post-66722986665201854072011-07-12T17:41:44.044-07:002011-07-12T17:41:44.044-07:00I did misread it.

Bousquet and Targett aren't swimming the 100 free either, and there's a very good chance Cielo won't either, since a ban of any length would prevent him from competing. Also, Phelps is in significantly better shape than last season, where he was second in the world in the 100 free (between Hayden and Adrian).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37388994.post-27029539599898481242011-07-12T15:16:14.679-07:002011-07-12T15:16:14.679-07:00Not sure if he's swimming 100 free in Shanghai...Not sure if he's swimming 100 free in Shanghai, but he'd win that too if he wanted to! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37388994.post-3162809253920739172011-07-12T15:10:58.074-07:002011-07-12T15:10:58.074-07:00100-free?
