Unbeaten since 2012……undisputed king until he is beaten. It is very easy to understand, although I understand, very difficult for some to acknowledge.

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.
