Never. See swimswam.com/.../
There were some nice comparisons about the 4.55 % but the one thing that impresses me is that he has a shorter distance to make that % then the other swimmers in the 100 and 200 events. You watch him in the 50 and 100 he just starts pounding the competition right from the beginning and he does it when he anchors relays and he just picks up huge gaps on the field as witnessed today in the 400 Free Relay.
If he wins tonight in the 100 yard free by over 2 seconds, he will have swam a meet in all 3 of his individual events where the field was not even close and these swimmers he is beating are great swimmers in their own right. I was at the NCAA meet last year and he has improved significantly in the last year and if he continues this improvement, who knows are great the results will be. We might never see something like this again or for a long time.
