TM's Olympic Rant - Part Two

Full school schedules, homework, going out on Friday nights, etc. I would say that we worked out about the same amount of time per day as the football players, and no one would accuse them of failing to lead full social lives.

Again. 2.
I know a a current Olympic swimmer. Yeah she swam year round in HS, but she didn't put in any more time in the pool than the other girls during the season. She is/was well-rounded and fully social. Hell, she even got drunk every once in awhile in HS.
And she could probably kick the shit out of me.
ETA: One more thing: Phelps could easily come back in 2008 and try for 8 golds again (he's only 19). What's the record for total medals? Carl Lewis has to have a ton.
