Mark Spitz and Michael Phelps

I see Mark Spitz is getting grief for not showing up in Beijing.    As he represents it, he wasn’t invited.  If that’s accurate I gotta side with him.   If he just showed up I think people were accuse him of trying to make it about him or take some shot about wanting one last minute in the limelight.

However, if invited he should show. 

Either way, great accomplishments by both men, and Phelps complete dominance and margins of victory are nothing short of amazing.
