Although Schooling is the fastest man in the 100m fly this year, its still his idol Phelps who holds the current world (49.82sec) and Olympic record (50.58sec).
Singapores national assistant swimming coach Gary Tan said Schooling has what it takes to beat the big names hes up against on Saturday morning (Aug 13).
He said: If Phelps is coming next to him, he should focus on himself without thinking of anyone else.
Phelps does have good finishing, he"s having a heavy schedule which is taking a toll on his body but you still can"t rule him out.
Joseph should still focus on his own swim. He did beat Phelps in his heat.
How Schoolings personal best compares
Schoolings new personal best of 50.83sec would have landed him gold in London 2012 and a bronze in Beijing 2008.
Yet, the Singaporean has the potential to go even faster - between 50.13 and 50.25sec, according to converted times from his 100m fly swim at the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) meet in February 2016.
