We all know that Phelps is the greatest swimmer of all times and we know that NBC is an American Network and that patriotism and nationalism are great.
However both NBC and CBC (CBC even more because they didn't even show that Women's 800m Free race) insulted all swimmers and, IMHO, our sport, when, right after Janet Evans's longest-standing record was broken and just as the camera was starting to focus on the British (non-American) winner, Adlington (sp?), they cut to Phelps. That blew me..............

Seriously, he should do distance for 2012. What else has he got to prove?
I thought he wanted to avoid anything over 200? I bet he has the WR in the 100 fly and free in mind, plus the backstrokes. Just getting a larger variety of WRs to take his versatility to another level and see what he can do in the shorter events without the training for the 400s holding him back. Based on his past record I don't think he has any interest in the 400 free or longer.
