Bobby BinderI was a swimmer and even swam on the same team with Dara Torres when she was 11 and a little brat.
You can not compare what Spitz and Phelps have done. When Spitz swam USA came in 1-2-3 in virtually every event. The world as a whole did not really care about swimming.
Now swimming is huge world wide and the competition is much fiercer then in 1972.
