Lucky #8


Congratulations to Michael Phelps on winning his eighth gold medal of the 2008 Olympic Games. Phelps surpassed Mark Spitz's record of seven gold medals that was set in 1972.

The eighth gold medal was won in the 4x100m relay. This relay has been dominated by the U.S. Team.

As soon as the team had secured the win, The Calvinator and I could see Michael mouthing the words thank you to his fellow teammates. In a post-relay interview, Phelps said that this could not have happened without his teammates doing their part.

A shout out goes not only to Michael Phelps but also to Aaron Peirsol, Brendan Hansen and Jason Lezak.

Viv: I bet if they trained at your pool you would like swimming much, much more and probably wouldn't complain about the Speedo Jams.

My sister and I were talking about him yesterday and how classy he is. He is a real team player and values his team mates. Overall good guy.
