Don’t worry about Phelps eclipsing Mark Spitz’s record.
All Phelps has to do is wear the next generation silicone coated, polymerically engineered, body compressing, drag reducing suit from Speedo, Nike, Arena, etc., and he will become the greatest swimmer of all time.
And everyone will be OOOOOing and AWWWWing over another Dumbed-Down "achievement" thanks to technologically assisted swimming. :shakeshead:
This comment would be relevent only if Phelps had these advantages and no one else did. However he will be wearing the same super-suit that everyone else will be wearing. So Phelps' accomplishments in Beijing, whatever they are, will stand on their own. Phelps will win or not based on his training and ability to perform on the big stage.
The swimsuit has nothing to do with his workouts, nor his incredible versatility. I was a huge Spitz fan, but Phelps is a world class swimmer in every stroke (including breaststroke).
