Quotes
July 2008
Mark Schubert believes the United States (also known as USA) 
Men's Swim Team of the 2008 Olympics is "one of the greatest men's teams we've ever fielded." But he says the comparisons being made to the 1976 team, which won 12 of 13 gold medals in Montreal, are premature. "They will have a tremendous challenge equaling what the '76 team did," says U.S. national team director Mark Schubert, pointing to this team's relative weaknesses in breaststroke and middle-distance freestyle. "The world has gotten a lot more competitive."
