I do not agree. What Phelps has done in swimming is unmatched by runners outside of those that compete in the decathlon. He was the WR holder in the IM and Fly events while being elite in the middle distance freestyle. That diversity would be equivilent to begin the best at the 100m and 400m dash and the hurdles. Outside of Mark Spitz, no swimmer has dominated like this, and none can match the longevity. He qualified for the Olympics at age 15 in 2000 in the 200m Fly. Truly unmatched.

My prediction is he'll swim 100 fly, 200 fly, 200 IM, 400 medley relay and one of the free relays. Medals in each one with 3 golds.
I don't think he's done the 400 IM since 2012. I doubt he'll want to swim all 3 relays and not sure whether the 400 or 800 free relays suits him better.

Meh.....not much of the world population swims so he is competing in a ......WATERED DOWN event.
Running on the other hand is something everyone does.
