Currently has 18 gold medals and 22 total medals, how much more can he add?
Greatest American swimmer of all-time? Greatest Olympian of all-time?

Probably less than the number of water borne diseases he gets in Brazil

How has he been doing in competition? I honestly have no idea. But I'd guess the world has caught up to him, and he won't swim many events. So 1.

How many events will he be in?

I am not knocking his record, but they should add running backwards and skipping so Bolt has a chance to keep up.

He was suspended last year for the Worlds by USA swimming but his time in the 200 butterfly was significantly better than what the winners had.
He will be very competitive in 100 fly, 200 fly, 200 IM and the three relays.
I'll predict 3 golds and 5 medals

All of them

Already is both. Might can get One more gold and three total medals.

This thread is pointless until we know how many events he's competing in.

I always thought it was kind of bullshite that with sports like basketball or volleyball you gotta win a bunch of matches... essentially the whole tournament... just to win one medal.
With swimming you swim for 50 seconds and here is your medal. You swim a slightly different way for 50 seconds and here's another medal. You swim with some partners and here's another medal. You swim a little bit longer than before and here's another medal, etc.

If it wasn't for the versatility I'd put Moses up there, in terms of singular impact it's hard to pass Owens (not to mention he never had the chance to show longevity what with the world being otherwise occupied during 1940 and 1944).
The only person I'd post on the same level is Carl Lewis- going from 84 to 96 in multiple explosive sports is nuts.

He was definitely part of two of the greatest Olympic finishes of all time:
400 Free relay with the insane Lezak finish
100 Fly coming from behind to win by .01
