Well, either way I think Phelps will edge out Crocker tonight - which should nearly lock him in for at least 7 golds.
Question: How big of a dissapointment will people consider Phelps only matching Spitz, and not beating his gold medal count?
Either way, Phelps has surpassed Spitz an every other way - performing at a 3rd Olympics, dominating the field at 2 of those games, and will most likely come back strong in 4 years at London.
