I just saw this article "Swimmer’s death leaves open questions":
"Asked if he’d ever try the event, US swimmer Michael Phelps said, “Not a chance, no way. I won’t do open water.’’
I'm a bit surprised. Is he scared of the dangers of open water? Or is he technically competitive in open water? :rolleyes: Have there been any swimmers who won both pool medal and open-water medal in world events?
I'm not sure but didn't Grant Hackett try out for the Oz 10k team but not make it?
That's a good point. He got red-carded at the qualifying event but he was definitely in the mix when it happened. Also, he won the 2007 Australian 10K nationals.
