Not really honestly… when you focus on something you focus on it. That’s why Phelps was great; he was so multi-disciplined that he was able to compete in multiple relays, lengths, styles, etc. Most Olympic swimmers before Phelps changed things focused on their heat and a relay, making the same amount of possible medals per Olympics (2).
