I will go out on a limb and say that we will see at least one of the two (Crocker or Phelps) under 50 for the first time. Maybe even both, but I predict Phelps will take it......
Any others?

It's dangerous to compare era's,so much has changed.Spitz swam before the mega-yardage explosion of the mid-70s.Training is different,the strokes are taught differently,SDK etc. Spitz was great,Phelps is great. Phelps may be the greatest of all time.He certainly had a better first Olympics than Spitz did.
I thought Phelps did rather poorly at his first Olympics?
