There’s been some talk that Phelps wasn’t really training and was doing this one last time just to do it. Guess there was something to those rumors after all.
If he doesn’t want to do this anymore, fine. Quit. It sucks that he took a slot from somebody who’d love to be there because he was pressured to go one more time and couldn’t bring himself to say no. He should’ve saved himself the trouble and retired 3-1/2 years ago.
Why don’t you quit your job? Maybe you should have given up years ago when - I heard you were better back then. What? - you say you have a family and financial obligations? Who cares? What matters is that there is someone who “deserves” to be there who can’t go because of mean Phelps?
I am not a fan of your views - they smell like OWS views.
And to get back to the swimming side of things - judge him by his next race. The decision to do the 400IM was essentially a last minute one. He has been primarily training for shorter races.
Your post makes no sense, try again when sober.
I am sober.
Why should Phelps quit? You wouldn’t do the same would you? If he quits he loses millions of dollars. He will win gold - just not in 400IM.
Go Gators!
Bong hits and subway sandwiches must not be good training fodder.
