Michael Phelps Wins 8th Gold Medal
EIGHT FOR EIGHT!
Michael Phelps just made history today in the Water Cube at the Beijing Olympics! The 23-year-old swimming champion is the only person ever to win eight gold medals at a single Olympics (surpassing Mark Spitz).
Moments ago, with the help of his team mates in the 4×100 meter medley relay, Phelps secured his eighth medal. Team USA won in a world record time of 3 minutes 29.34 seconds. Australia finished in 3:30.04 and Japan took bronze in 3:31.18.
Congratulations to Phelps and the United States men’s swim team!

He looks retarded. Lucky USA had him- AUSSIES would have won otherwise. GO AUSTRALIA!
Wow alot of sites spoiled it way early.I finally got to watch it a few minutes ago anyways congrats Michael and his team-mates.GO USA!!
Congrats to him. Being Aussie, I couldn’t help but kinda want to see him fail, with the Aussie team right there, but I also wanted to see him get his eight. Full credit to USA. Congrats again
such a genius！！！amazing！
He made the history! A great contribution !^^
Congrats, man! I saw this live and I’ve never been more proud. USA!
:D YIPEEEEE
amazing! Michael is just amazing , congrats to him. USA Rocks!
that was amazing….glad to witness it
Dam I was hoping the Aussie team would get this one. None of our male swimmers have had much of a chance at gold this year with Phelps there.
Oh well at least the women’s team won.
Michael you rock!!! Way to go to the whole team, what a great team effort!! This was a spectacular thing to see!
I don’t know why people comment about his looks, that is so irrelevant.
The American team was talented and amazing. congrats phelps on the 8!
Amazing!
I’m wondering what kind of drugs he and other athlet take since in every race they brake the world record. That’s not normal. But I guess we will never knew since the doping controls can’t find most of the stuff used today. My congrats go to the labs and docs.
grr we aussies almost kicked your but! meh at least we did smash you in the womens relay haha
TEAM AUS 4EVA
