Why? I thought the olymipic spirit was one of competition. Are these highly trained athletes supposed to make a pact that EVERYONE gets a medal?
I would think that qualification in 8 events and the ability to medal in them is something to admire. The guy had a goal to medal in all of his events. If he didn't have that as a goal then he should not have been in the event at all. Phelps was just great as far as I am concerned.
Ethical training my ass
