Michael Phelps today expressed a keen interest for swimming suits to be phased out of swimming all together and to let the sport get back to basics.
Michael Phelps recently lost his first major race for over four years when he lost a 200 meter free style race in Germany earlier this month. Is this a pun at Speedo? From the sounds of things Micheal Phelps sounds fed up with his gear as he has openly said that his rivals gear is much better.
Although, this problem is rather specific we are not going that far into detail, at least not as much as we could. For example, Phelps could of easily commented about the swimming pool chemicals not being a the correct level or the fact that the arena does not offer enough eco friendly swimming pool solutions as other places. Funnily enough these are all excuses that other swimmers have come up with in the past to cover up there loss, now is this what Phelps is doing? The competitor is so use to succeeding maybe it is time that he loses one once in a while to bring him back down to earth. To see Phelps not win a single thing this year is an absolute novelty as we are so used to seeing him win so many competitions.
So instead of blaming the pool filters we have what I would consider a sore loser to be complaining about swim suits. I am not a professional swimmer but can a swimsuit makethat much of a difference in all of this?
Michael Phelps has also openly stated that they are looking forward to getting swimming back to its roots and move away from items such as swimming gear and suits. the eight time gold medal winner later added that he is looking forward to facing up against Biedermann in the summer.
There is no doubt that the Beijing Olympics have been an absolute success for Phelps but can he continue his good fortune at the London 2012?
