the difference between the 200 fly finals now and then is that before everyone was competing for gold, now everyone is competing for silver, behind phelps
"Oh, doesn't this boy have a future, he's only 15 years old" that guy was on the money, who besides Michael and his coach knew 8 years later he'd be the most decorated olympian of all-time?
Dennis Pankratov was the only one who breathed sideways, i.e at his right side. He was still great, at least up to the first 150m, he just lacked of endurance after that.
i love how they barely acknowledge phelps in this...

can you imagine phelps swimming a 1:52.09 against this field.. he would be out by about 4 bodylengths!!!
mc1703 2 years ago 15
but then again Lazlo and Matsuda both did 1:52's as well, phelps isn't the only swimmer in the world who has improved

swimming is so much about strength, but ofc also technique but a 15 year old can easy beat a 13 yeared. it should be the same in those races

i'd say its stranger not to see the commentator and cameras zooming in obsessively on phelps.
