I'm not a supporter of winner takes it all aka monopoly. Kinda happy that Michael Phelps at least lost one. His by birth body advantage has been utter disappointment for all other swimmers.

I know that as we get older our brains also get bigger. I think this has something to do with this young man's swimming ability.

Great post @warrensteem. Michael got a "Schooling" for sure.

Joseph "Schooling" .. very fitting name! If only Phelps had access to a time machine, he would know what to do. ;-)
