To Suike.
Thanks for throwing your two cents on me for my two cents ("I guess you are just jealous... statement") that I tossed on the original poster. I don't know how your two cents are different from my two cents but then I bumped into half a cent you threw up there as "The basketball team, the football team; they play so many games to eventually land up with a gold", where you are comparing individual performances to the team-work, and I can't help but wonder if your thoughts are worth even a penny. May be someday they will add another event in basketball where they could test individual performance, like throwing 3 pointers. But until then, it is a team event. There is only one gold for that event. Now the Olympics swimming events are over, and track and field is on a 3rd gear, there are chances for many other to become another Michael Phelps. But there is no way one can question MP's achievements.

PS: To the speedo suit question >> If everyone is wearing a speedo suit or whatever, don't you think it is going to increase everyones performance?
