  • an interesting offshoot question is why are both Sullivan and Bernard so fast? they have very different physiques. Sullivan's body looks like what I consider a stereotypical swimmer's body - tall, lean, stretched out muscles. Bernard looks like a weight-lifter. so, would Sullivan be faster if he gained some muscle? would Bernard be faster if he lost a little muscle and maybe gained some flexibility? don't know??? oh, and Phelps held the #1 spot for almost EVERY SINGLE nag event as a 10 and under. he's been on the radar for a loooooong time. sorry, Ande, back to your sprinters.
