There was an interview by Anderson Cooper of Michael Phelps a few nights ago and it started me thinking about weather or not Michael Phelps can beat the current crop of Olympic level swimmers. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-18560_162-57427422/michael-phelps-ready-for-london-games/

2 to tie (should come from relay teams)

plus 1 to exceed. He should medal in at least one of his individual events. He is not as great as he was 4 yrs ago but he is still better than the majority!

With only 3 to beat the overall record, I feel Michael has a good chance to reach a new record. It's also noteworth to mention that Michael is already the holder of the most Olympic Gold Medals with 14!

As long as you do not post results within 6 hours or so, you should be OK. It is all over the Internet by then if it is anyone followed by many. Just hope Lolo Jones can medal now in the hurdles. She has had such a built up over the past 5 years or so.
