Uhhh...u got that backwards!

when your muscles work, lactic acid gets produced, as you work, you get a burning sensation, thats lactic acid buid up.

Phelps prdouces lactic acid at an abnormally slow rate compared to others, hence he can work harder and beat the others out.

IOW he reaches the pain threshold much later compared to others.

heh, thats a bad choice of words in this context.
Speedo VP Stuart Isaac says technological progress aiding to break records is a natural process. "That’s the nature of sport, whether it’s tennis rackets or golf clubs or new running shoes or the composition of running tracks".

So is the controversy over non-availability of the suit to others ?

Otherwise i don't see the problem.
 
Err, fine wear the suit, then dont make it unavailable to others. The playing field has to be same.

Its like one team in TF2 with with unlockables and the one without it. It is said to bring no real criminal advantage, however just ask the losing team what they feel :p

Believe Phelps won the 8 medal......and we are going strong on the boxing front with three kumar's :hap2: in the boxing event.

1) Vijender Kumar in the 75 Kg boxing event...is in the last eight.

2) Jitender Kumar in the 51 Kg from Haryana on his first olympics is in the quarterfinals.

3) Akhil Kumar in the 54 Kg boxing event is in the quarterfinal as well with the match being played today....

Are the 3 of them brothers:bleh: we have a very good opportunity to win a medal in the boxing....lets see what happens...crossing every finger on my body......

you did not get the point, how long can they keep on winning medals ?

what happens after..

Actually turn the argument around, if the prize is so high why isn't a billion plus nation sufficiently motivated by it.

Look at the medal tally, its looking increasingly likely that China will retain its top spot.

I say if they can do it...

yeah i know a dictatorship can wield awesome powers in this sphere, but getting to the top 10 should not be impossible
