I got beat real hard and heavy in the Olympic Games in 1968 by a guy who swam an incredible race one time in his whole life, but he did it right at the right time. I&#39;d like to be that guy now. Maybe that&#39;s what I&#39;m going to have to pull out of my hat to make the Olympic team.

If he wins seven golds and ties what I did, then it would be like I was the first man on the moon and he became the second. If he wins more than seven, then he becomes the first man on Mars. We&#39;d both be unique.
