I read somewhere that Ian Thorpe was making a comeback for these Olympics. I think it said something about going to Switzerland to train with a special coach in seclusion.
=> Could this be doable for someone 29 years old who's been away from the pool for some time?
=> He was a freestyle machine in his younger days --- could he challenge for a medal(s) in London?

At least in Thorpe's case the answer is "no" for both questions. Thorpe failed to make the Aussie Olympic team. In fact he wasn't even really that close.
