SO.... I'm reading all my typical news stuff before I jump back on the Q and I came across an article quoting Eamon Sullivan saying that Phelps "was able to break Mark Spitz's record of seven golds at one Olympics through good fortune and some small errors by rivals."He goes on to explain by stating this: "One hundred flys...always comes down to finishes and some would say Cavic's finish was - it was at that point 50-50 whether you take another stroke or you take a glide," stating that Phelps took another stroke and he took a glide. Thus equally luck on Phelps part. My thoughts???
If they were playing football and the safety spots the ball carrier coming, and the safety thinks he's going left, but instead the ball carrier goes right, busts open and scores a touchdown. The safety then says it's not his fault, and the ball carrier just got lucky.
NO!!! He didn't get lucky. YOU made a bad decision. Don't take away from him because Cavic wasn't good at judging where the poolside was. How crappy of a competitor do you have to be to say that? Much less a sore loser.
Finally the idiot closes with these statements:
"I guess what else is left to do for him except come down and win races he hasn't won before? ... He better bring his A-game because us sprint boys are a different league and we are not going go easy on him."
In closing, I can only wish that this man would read this and see these final words.
You couldn't beat us in what's supposed to be the STIFFEST competition from EVERY COUNTRY! What really makes you think your gonna beat him in something as simple as AUSSIES meets. Give me a break and shut up so that you can return home with some dignity. A second place finish was enough for me to give it to him....but then I read this.......I hope Phelps CRUSHES HIM so we won't have to hear this crap again.
