I said that it is likely that Phelps will be past his prime, and you have done nothing to counter that statement. | ||

unless you follow swimming a lot more closely then i do (i usually only pay attention to world championships, olympics, US nationals that kinda stuff and even then only marginally) then there are way more young guns than old timers. you never hear stories about htep eople who try to do comebacks and fail, or those who just don't make the cut. | ||

There are always execptions to the average person (see http://www.santarosa.edu/~dpeterso/permanenthtml/propaganda/prop_anecdotal.htm ). I care if you can show me that the majority of people perform against what I wrote. And if you're going to do that, then you'll have to give me sources that I trust better than a psychology textbook author. I said that it is likely that Phelps will be past his prime, and you have done nothing to counter that statement. That's a cheapshot, dismissing his claim with a patronizing comment and an insult at his grammar skills and that link. Then you have to go into semantics. Let's stick to swimming guys It's basically impossible to say where Phelps will be in four years. However, most people - including his coaches, teammates, competitors, etc - say that Phelps may still be improving. Looking at the sustained excellence of most great swimming champions, I think it's a safe bet that Phelps will still be unbelievable in 2008 and beyond; whether or not he's still in his "prime" is irrelevant as long as he's the best. Being 23 is not old, even in swimming. It's entirely possible that Phelps' prime can last 4+ years as well | ||

Klete Keller, the last person to swam the relay did a fabulous swim. So did Thorpe, just maybe going too fast in the beginning. So now phelps has 3 golds and 3 bronze medals, with 1 clear more gold to come (200 IM) and a decent shot on the 100 fly (and thus the relay) 6 golds + 2 bronze medals still can be achieved. btw phelps was challenged by 2 swimmers (british parry and japanese dunno the name) on the 200 fly he has 2 golds, 3 bronze, they didn't do the 400x100 medlay relay yet. i'm interested to see where they stick him in. aaron piersol definiteyl does back, brendan hansen does breaststrok,e jason lezak does free, but who does fly? crocker or phelps? both broke the old world record, but crocker holds it. i guess it depends on the timing of the event. if phelps wins gold in the 100 fly, then i guess he competes instead =p | ||
