I think that Johnny Weissmuller was better for his time than Mark Spitz because he was a natural. He workout not that much compared to Spitz who workout several times more yardage. Granted, Spitz did have the ideal olympics that porbably no other swimmer will do again. There is too much competition today compared to 1972 and there are few freestylers who can also won butterfly at the international level these days. This is for fun.

Thinking about Natalie Couglin she had to compete against Michelle Kwan at the Sullvian awards. That is hard considerating that figure skating is more popular than swimming. And Kwan has has been at the top of her sport for while, even though she has not won gold at the olympics. And Ms. Couglin has to compete against Sarah Hughes another figure skater for the top female sports figure this season for the espy awards. I think that Ms Couglin will lost again but who knows. Maybe, if she wins several medals that are gold in 2004, she can beat the other sports figures even in popular sports like figure skating
