I believe he means, Michael Phelps! Popular swimmer, yes?
I was just thinking earlier that Webb could have a shot at the modern pentathlon.
They run about 9:30 for the 3k run
and 2:10 for the 200m swim
The other 3 events are easy to learn. Webb for Mod Pen gold in Rio!

Webb would have no problem with the swim, but the run might be tough for him.
The swim takes less time than the run, so I figure phelp's time advantage on the swim would be similar to webb's time advantage on the run (since non-swimmers are worse compared to swimmers than non-runners are compared to runners). The real question is who would do better on the bike, and I think that would determine the winner between them.

And Alan Webb was a very good junior swimmer, so please defend how your comment is relevant.
Webb would crush Phelps in a swimming/running duathlon, and I imagine he could beat him on the bike as well.
Lukas would eat both of them for breakfast.
Webb would kill him. Phelps hates running or any type of endurance work. It's well known in the swimming community.

OP trips and falls as he steps onto the stage, 1st grader wins by default
