Michael Phelps, Eight Gold Medals!

[Jingthing]

His body is shaped really weird but he really did it. Eight gold medals in swimming. He beat Mark Spitz. This has some special meaning to me as I attended the Munich Olympics when Spitz did the 7 golds. Truly amazing.

Call me a cynic but I just hope we won't see him on TV a few years down the road, making a tearful confession of having doped.

Well, I was only a young puppy at the time, but still old enough to VOMIT at a beer hall and be seduced by teenage Finnish libertines. Luckily, I left town before the terrorist attack. It was a great location for an Olympics, too bad it was ruined.

i am a cynic, too. and i just say: "unbelievable! too good to be true!" i don't believe in him having the 'wonder-haircut' or the 'super-duper-swimsuit'. i believe in pharmacy.....

(I think if you check the facts, you'll find that is not true as yet.)

not all olympic records nowadays can be compared with old ones. Jesse Owens' 10.2 seconds for 100m, 1936 in Berlin cannot be matched by the "great-grandson generation" which runs on tartan tracks, fancy sprint shoes and being assisted by the most sophisticated training methods. under 1936 conditions ol' Jesse would beat them all.
