I hope he chokes in the 200IM or 100FLY. Ryan Locte and Ian Crocker need some gold for themselves.

""I won seven events. If they had the 50m freestyle back then, which they do now, I probably would have won that too," he said."

Gee, there were the 400 and 1500, the TWO backstrokes, the TWO breaststrokes and the IM? I'm sure he could have PROBABLY won those too.l

I watched Spitz win each of those medals. I cheered him on. I had the team suit. We all idolized him. But even when I was 10 years old, I knew he had an ego (we called it "stuck-up" at that age)

Special invitations don't go out to everyone. Was Janet Evans invited? For those who don't know, she had the longest standing Olympic swimming record (400 Free). I doubt that she was whining about not being invited.

Sure, if Locte or Crocker have the ability, I wish them the best. But get over your blubbering about Spitz and buy him a ticket for Bejing yourself.
