Today Michael Phelps announced that he is interested in eradicating swimming suits out of the sport all together.

Phelps surprisingly lost his first major race in the 200 meter free style against Biedermann in Germany. Is this a pun at Speedo? From the sounds of things Micheal Phelps sounds fed up with his gear as he has openly said that his rivals gear is much better.

Although, this problem is rather specific we are not going that far into detail, at least not as much as we could. For example, Phelps could of easily commented about the swimming pool chemicals not being a the correct level or the fact that the arena does not offer enough eco friendly swimming pool solutions as other places. Is Phelps trying to cover up his mistakes by making up all of these excuses? The competitor is so use to succeeding maybe it is time that he loses one once in a while to bring him back down to earth. After his rampant winning streak at the recent Olympics it is a novelty to see Phelps not win anything at all.

So instead of blaming the pool filters we have what I would consider a ‘sore loser’ to be complaining about swim suits. I am no swimmer but can a swim suit make that much difference in the grand scheme of things?

Michael Phelps has said that he wishes to step away from swimming suits and get the sport back to the roots by not allowing any other elements to assist your swimming. ‘ I am looking forward to facing Biedermann next summer’ said the eight gold medal winner.
There is no doubt that the Beijing Olympics have been an absolute success for Phelps but can he continue his good fortune at the London 2012?
