He proved himself in four years ago, and dozens of other games. Phelps may have great protential, but he runs his mouth too fast. The media hype is even funnier. 7 Gold medals? Thorpe said it's ridiculous, I agree. Ian and Pieter kept 10 best records in 200m freestyle event. How can you just claim you are gonna win that event? That kid wated too much "tough talk" in wrestlings. The result shows, he never had a chance in the game. From the very beginning, it's been Pieter against Ian.
