I think you can. Phelps is a freak - a once in a generation type of athlete. You can seperate what he did from how the rest of the US Olympic team is performing. And don't get me started on the stupid number of medals awarded in swimming - US and Australia win lots of swimming medals. How are they doing in other events?
