Just seen the news that Michael Phelps is going to be swimming in Australia in November.That sure will be a chance for him to put the cat amongst the pidgeons.Will he swim the 200m/400m free at the Olympics??I think that he will give Thorpe a good run for his money but Hackett is another story altogether.

Come on, Thorpe in the 100 fly? Are you kidding. If the guy goes a 52.5 that would be unbelievable but no where close to Crocker.
Phelps is another story: He is definitely doing the 100/200 fly and the 200/400 IM. To break Spitz record, he would need to win either the 400 free, 200 free, 200 back, or possibly the 100 back. I believe that the 400 free / 400 IM double IS possible, with the only problem being that the 400 free and 4x100 relay are the same day. Atleast that was the case in Sydney. And there is no doubt in my mind that Phelps will be on all 3 US relays.
