Yep and just when everyone thought he was about to lose 1st place. I guess he really is Superman! A documentary of him would be great to watch I bet, after his career is all said and done.

Michael Phelps is amazing. He is now being considered one of the greatest atheletes of all time. I guess it is well deserved considering his record.

Oh he is def. one of the greatest athletes of all time. If anyone thinks otherwise they are crazy. He's one of the most dominant athletes ever.

It doesn't even have to be his amazing ability to swim. Just his record alone at the Olympics deserves all the recognition he gets.

That is a great article! Thanks for posting it up. It's crazy because most people (outside the swimming world) never even knew who he was. Now just about everyone does.
