The feedback we received was plentiful, with fans of the sport not only supplying their responses but providing well-thought-out reasoning for their choices.<\/p>\n<p>This week, we have a new question to present to the readership, especially our followers who value the rich history of the sport. We\u2019re hopeful we will see similar participation to our initial query, and hope that our readers will be willing to explain their thought process in the comments section at the end of the article.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>The Question: If given the chance to set up a head-to-head battle between two all-time legends, who would you select, and in what event would they clash?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"69260\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/trial-date-for-michael-phelps-dui-set-for-december-29-more-info-comes-to-light-about-the-incident\/trial-date-for-michael-phelps-dui-set-for-december-29-more-info-comes-to-light-about-the-incident-3\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/phelps_spitz.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"400,300\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Phelps-Spitz&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/phelps_spitz.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/phelps_spitz.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-69260 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/phelps_spitz.jpg\" alt=\"Phelps-Spitz\" width=\"276\" height=\"207\" \/>Personally, I would love to see a showdown between <strong>Michael Phelps<\/strong> and <strong>Mark Spitz<\/strong> in the 200-meter butterfly. While that choice is rather obvious and may lack some creativity, the opportunity to see the two greatest male swimmers in history duel in the discipline is too much to pass up. Between them, Phelps and Spitz established 15 world records in the event, with Spitz winning the 1972 Olympic crown and Phelps claiming three Olympic victories.<\/p>\n<p>On the women\u2019s side, a matchup between <strong>Janet Evans<\/strong> and <strong>Katie Ledecky<\/strong> in the 800 freestyle would be much appreciated. In addition to owning a pair of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olympic.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Olympic<\/a> titles each in the event, Evans and Ledecky generated chasms between themselves and their pursuers. An eight-minute showdown between these distance greats is extremely appetizing.<\/p>\n<p>So, what are your preferences? Feel free to suggest more than one head-to-head showdown, and we look forward to receiving your answers and presenting some of our readers\u2019 thoughts in a followup piece.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Name Your Race: Which All-Time Head-to-Head Showdown Would be the Best?
