Chad le Clos is ready to compete against Michael Phelps if he attends the 2015 FINA World Cup.
Via Youtube: Chad Le Clos’ list of achievements in 2014 was impressive even by his own glittering standards. His trophy cabinet swelled thanks to four gold medals at the World Short course Championships as well as double gold and a seven medal haul at the Commonwealth Games.
Undisputed King? LOL not yet…
Unbeaten since 2012……undisputed king until he is beaten. It is very easy to understand, although I understand, very difficult for some to acknowledge.
someone tell chad le Clos to come over to the US & race Phelps at the Mesa meet. only 6 weeks away… decide fast…this might be a good chance for him to outswim his idol lol 😀
A 22 yr old who is in the prime of his swimming career is ready to take on a 29 year old who hasn’t been training the way he has in the past, is engaged, and who has one foot into the next stage of his life? Please.
Guess he is bored and needs a foil to spur him on. He might beat Phelps like a dead horse if Phelps swims, but Phelps he will never be.
Really hope this rivalry brings some attention to the pool. I’m also not really focused on Phelps and Le Clos, because deep inside, a part of me wants Seliskar, Shields, or Conger to completely stomp both of them. There’s a way to go for all the people listed, yes, but I’d bet on one of those 3 dethroning someone in the 100 or 200 fly.
yeah, i want one of th0se 3 guys u listed ^ wins the 2fly at the international meet…however, if MP is in the 1fly…everybody knows what happens! my heart always tells me that “never bet against Michael Phelps!” 😀
