What do you think about 16 August 2004 freestyle swimming finals in Athena Oliympics? I think this date is the worst day of his life for Michael Phelps and best day for Ian Thorpe.

Phelps for the all-round ability, and an awesome Fly!
Thorpe for the most pure effective freestyle technique every seen.
Also regarding 'Dual in Pool' Answer.
Sorry but USA has no excuses and should be beating Australia in most events in the pool.
USA population =250million
Australian population =20million

Definately Michael Phelps. Count the world records and olympic medals. Heck the US team is better than the aussies. The US dominated Australia. in a head to head dual. known as the Dual in the Pool. not once .. but twice.

Michael Phelps. Phelps is yet to reach his prime, Thorpe has already peaked.
