Where Phelps and Kitojima ever in the same meet?

Question

This is a question for people who watched the swimming portion of the olympics. I know they both place first constantly. Have they ever competed in the same race together?

Answer 1

Kitojima's best stroke is breaststroke.  I haven't seen him swim anything else.  Phelps does not swim breaststroke but swims everything else.  Maybe he will start swimming it since the US is weaker in that event.  He used to swim back but because he has the competition of Piersol and Lockte he didn't this time.

Answer 2

The only time I saw them swim in the same meet was in the 4x100 medley relay. Phelps was in the butterfly leg, and Kitajima was in the breaststroke leg, naturally. So they didn't go head to head, but they were in the same relay. The Japanese team gave us some serious competition, and were ahead during the breaststroke leg.
