I still say this is his most dominant performance at any Olympics. It is unheard of for a guy to win the 200m free by 2 seconds. Simply unreal. It almost makes me wish he chose to swim the 400m free as well. I wonder if he could've won the gold in that event. I know he already had an unbelievably heavy load with his 8 events, but it really makes me wonder.

He does that so he can do more underwater dolphin kicks after the turn. You are allowed up to 15 meters of subkicks after each turn. Going deeper helps you stay underwater longer and makes you go faster. If he didn't go as deep, he'd surface too quickly. I wish there was a 50 meter underwater dolphin kick event in the olympics. Those times would be crazy. It's probably not an event for safety reasons. Training for an event like that could be dangerous.

That's because he (and a lot of others) started wearing supersuits around this period.. i think Beidermann dropped 4 seconds of his time by wearing one within a year.. crazy how they completely changed swimming.. no wonder they banned them.. Phelps never believed in them and never wore one.. that's how Beidermann beat him in the 200m at Rome world championships (i think?)
