Michael Phelps!

Michael Phelps is the most amazing swimmer of all time. He has beaten Mark Spits' record, and is trying for more. He has gotten 3 gold medals so far, and wants five more. As a fan, I think he will get them all. Go Michael!

He recieved 4 and 5 last night so he only needs 3 more... he'll get them easily.

The Dude is AWESOME !!!!! Most outstanding athelete in the Games. We set up the projector and 12' screen outside the other night and had a party while we watched the relay ... simply amazing performance !!!

He is amazing, truly. I enjoy watching him swim tremendously. He has such a passion for the sport, it's infectious. Did you see the article that Mark Spitz is mad they didn't invite him to come?

GO USA!!

He is one amazing athlete. I love to watch him. And DD11 thinks he's cute!!

I think it's a slap to Spitz not to have him at the Swimming event, he is truly an American hero. I remember I had a swim mask with his name on it when I was a kid. I think Phelps has grown up since his last Olympics, learned from some of his mistakes (DUI) and seems pretty humble.

WOW! This man is unbelievable! I have really enjoyed watching him.

This guy is amazing! I wasn't sure when they said he was going for 8 if he was going to accomplish it. Then they had a couple near misses but kept coming out on top! It was awesome to be able to watch him make history twice! First with earning the most gold medals in olympic history then once again making history by earning the most golds in a single olympics ever!

But you also have to give congrats to his team mates which it would have been difficult to accomplish the 8 Golds with out in the relays. Especially Lezak who came from behind to beat france in the last few meters of the 4 x 100 m freestyle it was really amazing!

This guy is great!! I was watching this commercial thing about him and it said that when he was younger, his sister tried out for the olympics but didn't make it. it said that inspired him to try swimming, even though at the time, he was afraid to put his face under the water!!

What a fantastic run (or swim) he had this Olympics!! I love his family, his mom and coach have done a great job with him. Did you all hear the guy that almost beat him (the one that didn't touch the wall before Phelps by a sliver) said it would be good for him to not win!! Haha! I hope he makes a lot of $$. I loved his facial expressions after he won and he was truly thankful to his teammates for helping him win the relay gold both times.

I was wondering how many of the other sports in the Olympics can an athlete have a chance to win 8 metals? Is there any? The only one I can think of is track and field.
