I don't think so.
Though Park Tae Hwan ended up second to Phelps, he did swim a good one! I was really rooting for Park in this ultimate swimming face-off...but meh,...He could have been Korea's most celebrated Olympian.

The Olympics of Development
Developed countries are dominating the Olympics. The host country is bagging a lot, the US is just an inch behind, and South Korea is contending strong.
The Philippines has been sending athletes to the Olympic games since 1926 but hasn't bagged even a single gold medal.
Indeed, one can never rely on [raw] talent alone.
Let's pray that our delegates bring home the glory. Even just a single gold can fan into a blaze the younger generations will of fire.
