Not only is Michael an AMAZING athlete... he is kind, gracious and an all around GOOD SPORT!

After the 4x100 Free Relay (where the French had bragged they would crush the Americans) where USA took the race... Michael went right over and shook hands and congratulated the French on their Silver. It wasn't mocking or anything like that either. We couldn't hear the audio... but you could tell by the video that it was a heart felt congrats on the Silver and compliments on an amazing race.

When his teammates were interviewed about the pressure to win and help Michael reach his goal of 8 Golds in one Olympics... they said Michael NEVER put that on them. He just swims his own race and thats that. When asked why Michael swims the first leg and not the anchor it was stated that Michael wanted to swim the first leg and let his teammates swim their race.... in other words... he has confidence in his team and doesn't think he's the only one with a meaningful contribution to the race.

Michael Phelps truly does America proud!!! GO MICHAEL!!!


On another note.... I'm proud of all the athletes' (from all countries) behavior so far in these games. Watching athletes from countries with all out rivalries embrace and congratulate each other is heartwarming.... and an excellent example to us all how we should be towards our fellow humans world-wide. :clap:

I don't know who michael phelps is
In one sentence "He is the Olympian with the most Gold medals ever."

In another sentence... "He's the Olympian that's out to break Mark Spitz's record of the most Golds won in a single Olympics"

Mark had 7... Michael is shooting for 8.

Michael is a swimmer and he is without doubt the most amazing swimmer of all time.

Growing up I swam competitively (lol.. no where even close to world class swimmers) and I just LOVE watching this guy swim!!! For those that think swimming is "easy".... I'd tell you that you are fucking CRAZY!!!!


P.S. Wordz... I think you are yanking our chain saying you don't know who Phelps is... just thought I'd play along ;)

Haha yeah swimming is actually really hard to be good at. I raced for 8 years when I was younger. But I just got bored of being in the pool every day.

LOL..... I don't know what you mean... I've always loved being in the water....even swimming lap after lap. I swam before I walked so I was a natural for the swim team.... I might have gone further had my mom not died when I was young. My dad couldn't keep it going for me. I still swam..... but not to the level of competition I started at. In the 70's it was hard for a single dad :)

What did you swim? I swam the 100 fly, 100 back, back leg of the 200 medley relay and occasionally swapped out and swam the fly leg of the 200 medley (I got my picture in the local paper swimming this leg of the race... I still have the clipping all these years later). Today I'd likely stroke out if I had to swim the fly over 50m. ;)

I raced the 200 butterfly and the 200 breaststroke, and in my last year i started racing backstroke but i wasnt that good at that. My main one was the breaststroke. I still love swimming and swim almost everyday ( yay for having a pool!) I just kind of got bored of the laps. Im more of an extreme sports guy.

Nice!!!

I never mastered the breaststroke to competition level. I was all over freestyle when little... but after my break (when my mom died) I came back to swimming a few years later and couldn't hold a candle to the freestylers.... luckily I was a good fly and backstroker. Not good enough to go anywhere (you really can't take a break like I did and be any good) but I still enjoy swimming all the strokes today at the gym. Swimming is just a joy to me... I love it!!!!

Yeah see I quit swimming to focus on my skiing, but still use swimming as my main cardio workout to stay in shape. As much as I love to swim, theres nothing better than ripping first tracks in some fresh powder!

Swimming is no joke, it is a FULL body exercise. When I played football, I would go get in the pool with our swim coach to get in extra cardio. And she was hot, too ;)

it really isn't it's pretty taxin, now about that micheal phelps named strain?
i think it should be a mix of white gold from sensi seeds to symbolize the gold and blueberry because he's sweet in the water (no homo) and at one point in time blueberry was a champion also
OMG I THINK I JUST CREATED THE SWEETEST STRAIN I GOTTA WRITE THIS DWN!
wait what were we talkin about? damn i lost it
