Absolutely.
When Usain Bolt runs through 100m he can win one medal, when Phelps swims the 100m he can win the 100m free style, back stroke, breast stroke and butterfly.
Four potential medal to one.
Not so mention swimming even has a 50m meter event.
If Canada wants to do better at the Olympics just focus on the pool. Put up world class facilities in Toronto and Vancouver and focus on potential top athletes and we could double our medal count.
