  • Possible, but not probable. I don't know about that, that's a lot of events he has to win, and the US is not as dominant in relays as it was in Spitz' day. As good as Phelps is, I think the odds are against him even matching Spitz' seven golds. Comparisons between the two are inevitable, but it really is an apples and oranges thing. The swimming world is just so much different now than in the 70s.
