Do you have a link to such an article. I would be interested in loking at it.512OW wrote:There is one single person other than Michael Phelps who understands what it takes to win all those events. Mark Spitz. Prior to the Olympics, what did Spitz say?
That it was a "foregone conclusion" that Phelps would win all 8.
I'm just guessing that Spitz knows more about swimming than anybody on this site...

Best. Olympic. Photos. Yet.
It is from Germany, so a couple are probably NSFW, but some very funny/cool images that you probably won't see in the US.

Yes foregone conclusion means inevitable that is correct. I suggested that you watch the close races, to understand how ludicrous your prediction and anyone else who said that was . If Spitz said that he is a moron, considering he should know better. There were 2 -3events that were well known ( to those who follow swimming) to be extremely possible for Phelps to lose especialy at the Olympics.512OW wrote:Haha. Maybe you should look it up. If I watch it, How can I then form a "foregone conclusion" based on that? A foregone conclusion must come prior to whichever event its foretelling, not after seeing it happen...Lateralus wrote:OW, I think perhaps you should look up the word foregone as well and then go watch the 100 butterfly and the 4x100 finals again. If those equate to forgone conclusions to you, quit pretending you have anything to say that makes any sense.

I don't know about "NSFW", unless you work at the American Prude Association. In that case, you don't have time to browse the web - you're busy "dealing" with this shocking "outrage":Wes wrote:Best. Olympic. Photos. Yet.
