Phelps cheating imo

QuoteBEIJING -- United States of America Michael Phelps set a new world record at the China Beijing Games.

Phelps, 23, set a new world record in the 400-meter individual medley, which took place Sunday morning in Beijing. Phelps finished 4:03.84 with U.S. teammate Ryan Lochte finishing third

Michael Phelps on Saturday won the men's 400 individual medley gold medal in a world-record time of 4 minutes, 3.84 seconds.

"I'm kind of emotional now, after the first one," Phelps told NBC after he climbed out of the water.

Phelps broke his own record set in 2004 at the Athens Games. He now has seven Olympic gold medals.

With President United States of America George W. Bush, first lady Laura Bush and daughter, Barbara, looking on, the American swimming phenom ran away from the rest of the pool of swimmers.

Phelps, trying to break United States of America Mark Spitz's record of seven gold medals, crushed his old mark of 4:05.25 in the 400 IM, set in June at the U.S. Olympic trials.

Hungary Laszlo Cseh, of Hungary, rallied to take the silver medal in 4:06.16, while United States of America Lochte faded to the bronze in 4:08.09.


Come on, how the fuck can someone beat a world record with 2 seconds (!!!) ?
This is just pure skill ? I doubt..

Yet it's the most inappropriate choice you could've made to express that sentence.

Mutated feet and hands is the answer to this question.
Like frog feet.

genetic cheat , i bet there are some dope that modify your feet size

Hope 10 Aug 2008, 20:37
They only devellop certain muscles. Being big and bulky from muscles will interfere with the speed they go through the water imo.
▼
Nonix 10 Aug 2008, 20:40
is he good on long or on short distance only ?
Parent
▼
Hope 10 Aug 2008, 20:43
Don't really know. I only watched swimming in Europe, never actually saw Phelps in action, but I think he is the best on short distances.
Parent
▼
mini 10 Aug 2008, 20:44
he does 100 - 400.
Parent
▼
Nonix 10 Aug 2008, 20:47
in this case he should be more muscular (no i am not saying like a bodybuilder but come on his arms are too thin)
Parent

EgeS 10 Aug 2008, 20:41
He's lan proof
▼
sAKUNAATTORI 10 Aug 2008, 20:42
Do you think swimmers should be 100kg heavy, and 60kg pure muscle in the upperbody? Don't know if my logic is wrong, but i think they try to build a slim upperbody and some more power in the legs.

Nonix 10 Aug 2008, 20:44
dunno he just looks like a random man from the beach, I said i dont know much about swimmers , just looks strange sorry !

2 seconds in a total period of 4 minutes (is it 4 mins? dunno if i understood your post good) is not that much to think he cheats
▼
psycheee 10 Aug 2008, 20:52

So you're pro, just for a quarter an hour.
▼
evan 10 Aug 2008, 21:30
I think it has more to do with him hitting his peak and the rest of the swimmers, comparatively, 'sucking'. I doubt he cheats though.

perforator 10 Aug 2008, 21:45
Didn't the female swimmer beat the WR by 2 seconds too?
▼
dinev 10 Aug 2008, 21:46
do you really think the usa, the inventor of doping cannot hide their own shit?
oh nvm, he is just very talented and trained very hard oh yes!!
▼
Paintrain 10 Aug 2008, 21:53
He's in really good shape and don't forget it's 4 different swimming styles. Phelps trained hard to improve his breaststroke. Up to that style, the other two dudes were pretty close, but then Phelps pulled away. Combination of having enough stamina and the right skill for all 4 styles.

He's just modest, only going for 8 gold medals in beijing.
