It would only work if he was given a bye to the finals or semi finals of each race.

He’ll never get to match Phelps’ totals unless they introduce the backwards 100m, the sideways 100m, the one legged 100m, the holding your breath 100m, the skipping 100m, the blindfolded 100m, the duck-walk 100m, the bear-walk 100m, the forwards crab-walk 100m, the backwards crab-walk 100m, the walk on your hands 100m, and the 100m medley, which consists of doing 10m of nine of the preceding variations (and the freestyle 100m of course).

Not to mention the 4X50m relay, the 4X75m relay, the 4X80m relay, the 4X150m relay, and 4X200m relay in addition to the 4X1. And of course we need the medley versions of those relays with backward running and sidewards running combined with forward running.

The number of Phelps’ medals that are really just for relays is amazing.
