I dont see the next generation of swimmers in the usa being as good as the current one. There is michael phelps and the texas trio who dominate almost all of the events. I don't see the usa being that deep in 2012 or 2016. We got ryan lochte and cullen jones on the rise but thats only 3 or 4 events right there. Will the usa ever have this much depth again.

    I look at sports domination like the White House. The power will shift like a pendelum as time goes on. You might have your party or country in the lead position for a few terms or games but eventually you are bound to lose control of your position. It takes the right person at the right time to claim supremacy in the the Olympics and there is no way we can expect to remain dominant for decades at a time. It just can't happen.
