Actually only 2 styles, blown up into 6 different events. Phelps is only world dominate in freestyle and butterfly. The only reason why he won the medley's is because he can build up such a big lead to compensate for his backstroke and breast stroke.
Phelps isn't the fastest swimmer in the world and he he doesn't have the most endurance.
Well what we arguing about is the biggest story out of the Beijing games. I think 5 years down the road. People will remember the 9.69 and the 19.30 at lot more then what Phelps did in the pool. I'm having trouble remembering what events Phelps won already.
Ooooo looks like the silver medalist from the Dutch antilles in the 200metres has also been disqualified. Silver to Crawford and bronze to dix now.
