Paul Biedermann will always be known as the man who ended Michael Phelps’s stint at the top in the same way that Phelps preceded Thorpe. Biedermann is the current world record holder for the 200m & 400m freestyle and managed to destroy Phelps in the 200m free at Rome in 2009. Loyalist Phelps supporters claimed that the new Arena polyurethane swimsuit was the only reason that Biedermann won but later in an interview Phelps himself said that he was beaten by the swimmer not the suit.
