It would be really great to see Phelps do one more Olympics. He could certainly win more medals on the 2016 relays, and a program of only 100 fly, 200 free & 100 free would be a relatively "easy" training load. Why not add six more medals to his overall total?
I know Phelps has said he's "retiring" but after a couple years of being "normal" maybe he'll feel differently, who knows.... The thing is, his total medal count could conceivably be broken by another swimmer, but if Phelps captures 4-6 more medals in 2016 that medal count record could stand for 100 years... Or maybe even longer.
I can't see anyone breaking that medal tally for a generation or two. He trained just enough to win the events he did. The guy is tired of the water. NBC will have to probably pay him alot of money to swim in Rio. He is a Olympic ratings machine.
