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!

I think Phelps is just plain lucky cos’ he won 2 events by a finger-tip. I think Spitz is better and more ‘cool’.
congrats to him!!
Hehehe……………….go CHINA………………….they kicked your asses like nothing!
———————–CHINA———————yoyoyoyoyo!
he is so hoootttt!!!!!!!!!
He is incredible! I was touched by his humility and sincerity in his interview after this amazing feat. He is all about team and he is to be commended for that . Congratulations, Michael, you have made your country proud of you not only as an athlete but as a fine human being!!!
Thanks for the post JJ! So good to come here and actually read about something of true importance and American pride.
No one really cares what Ashley is wearing to the gym or how many times Zanessa were seen together smooching or Miley Cyrus goes to church.
Michael Phelps is the real deal and is news worthy!
THAT WAS INCREDIBLE!!!!! I was SCREAMING so LOUD!!!!!!!! USA USA USA USA USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DOWN WITH SPITZ UP WITH PHELPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Spitz didn’t use drugs during his time so why is it hard to believe that it’s impossible for Michael to create the same success? He voluntarily gets drug tested everyday so there’s no way he’s juicing. In fact, I think he’s part of a program where athletes gets tested every so often.
All in all, Congrats to Michael. I’m in awe of your talents. You deserve it.
Go Team USA!!!
