Olympic History

MICHAEL PHELPS HAS DONE IT!!!

ONE (1) OLYMPIC RECORD!
SEVEN (7) WORLD RECORDS!!
EIGHT (8) GOLD MEDALS!!!

my gosh!
he has become one heck of an Olympic champion!

thought i couldn't catch his last swim, 4 x 100 medley relay, on Sunday, i had it all down on tape.

it was a great win but it still wasn't as fantastic as his 7th win on Saturday, in which he out-touched Milorad Cavic by 0.01sec.

an utterly unbelievable win. any slower and the 8-gold dream would have been out of his hands.

but there you have it.

he won Mark Spitz's 7-gold record.

he had 7 new world records.

his name, MICHAEL PHELPS, will go down in history.

------------------------------------

last Saturday was also the day in which the Men's 100m run had a new world record by Usain Blot from Jamaica.

another unbelievable win, where he run a record 9.69sec!

9.69sec!!

i don't think i can even do 50m in that time, much less 100m!

now it's a matter of whether Blot will win the 200m on Wednesday night, in which he is the current world champion.

back-to-back golds in the sprints?

he will try and accomplish it.
and maybe, just maybe, break Michael Johnson's 12-yr old record. (!!)

anyway, i've spent all of my last weekend's nights watching the athletics.

i will still continue to do so for the rest of the remaining Olympic days.

i'm so glad most of the track finals are in the evening rounds.

ohohohohohoho...
