And yes, Michael Phelps is still the best swimmer in the world.

saint:
The article adds though that he only wore the suit in 3 of the events. The deeper pool is consistant though.

He still wore the bottom half of the suit in the rest.

What a stupid, asinine, ignorant argument you are making.  He wore half a suit while his competitors wore the full suit, yet he still won.  If everybody is wearing the same suits (or have access to it), then how can he not be the best swimmer when he wins?  I agree that the pool and equipment is conducive to breaking world records, but how does that diminish the fact that Phelps is still beating all the other Olympians?

ALL the competitors have access to the same suits and are swimming in the same pool at the Olympics.  Phelps isn't the only one wearing a Speedo suit and he isn't the only one swimming in a 3 meter deep pool.   Why on earth are you so jealous of Phelps that you feel the need to try and and somehow discredit his accomplishments on an arcade forum?

I agree with your points except some swimmers dont have access to the speedo suit if they contracted with another company.  From what I read a month or so ago, it's just the speedo suit that achieves a certain level of buoyancy.
