phelps has stated that he lets his swimming do the talking..well, i think he needs a megaphone because nobody is hearing him right now. If he does not gold in the 200 im and 100 fly you'd have to call this olympics a complete and utter failure on his part and even if he golds in those two events he still lost two of his biggest trademark events the 400 im and 200 fly.
Cavic has the opportunity to make this guy leave a beaten man if he's not already beaten. I hope cavic is eating his wheaties.:banana:
200 IM :D
100 Fly :D :D
I'm glad that he does not have to leave a beaten man.
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.
I think the original plan was to retire "on top" and win some individual golds. I don't think he wanted to appear as a shell of his former self.

I can see this happening. They'll make him and Lochte and deal they can't refuse. Serious ca$h.

That would be interesting if NBC did that. An Olympican gets "Friends-Jerry Seinfeld-Tim Allen" type money to compete. Mama Phelps and entourage gets some money to appear in the stands. Gosh, is that family growing and growing or what. I wonder if Debbie Phelps will get a talk show now.
