@@jaredphd5587 Thorpe had a faster 400 and 800, and he’s the only one of the two to medal in the 100 freestyle at the Olympics. Thorpe also won more international gold medals over the 200 distance, with his best time coming in 2001, 7 years before the “super suit” era in which the Speedo LZR, Jaked, and Arena X-Glide suits caused all world records to drop due to technological advances. When Ian and Michael both swam in the same technology, Ian won. Michael’s the greatest swimmer of all time, by far. And he’s among the greatest freestylers of all time. But in the field of freestyle swimming, no male has ever been as dominant as Thorpe.

Hmm let’s do some math. Who has more Olympic gold ….? We can wait. Maybe Thorpe will grow new shoulders and pick up another dozen gold. Lmao ridiculous Aussie nonsense …

Thorpe was the first young sensation who Phelps admired maybe Thorpe's domination inspired Phelps to be the goat

Thorpe would have been the greatest swimmer of all time, but he chose to walk away from the sport at a young age. He was virtual unbeatable in his prime. He is one of the reasons Phelps was successful because he copied his stroke style.

You are correct in regard the banning of full body suits. Thorpe, however, wore a full body suit made of material that was exactly the same as the material other competitors were wearing shorter trunks at the time. He did not wear a textiled full-body suit, which were introduced later after he retired. These textiled full-body suits (e.g. the LZR suit) were banned around 2010, as they gave swimmers an unfair advantage. Many world records were broken with wearers of the textiled suit; the 400 m freestyle world record which Paul Biederman claimed from Thorpe in 2009 by 1 hundred of a second.... still stands today. To quote "They were trying to replace the now infamous full-body LZR suit. Dubbed “the rubber suit,” it compressed a swimmer’s body into a streamlined tube and trapped air, adding buoyancy and reducing drag. Speedo says 98 percent of the medals at the 2008 Olympics were won by swimmers wearing the LZR. Michael Phelps set world marks in seven of his eight events at Beijing wearing the suit, but applauded its ban." FINA then gave a blanket ban on all full body-suits in men's swimming, even suits made of the old material, so as to have consistency with all swimmers.
