Michael Phelps is Amazing.

He won his 7th gold medal of the Beijing Olympics in 1-hundreth of a second! I didnt' catch it live, but man, it was very close.

Man, you knew somebody would put this up:

Michael Phelps is OVER 9000!

I'm amazed it was put up so soon.

Michael Phelps is indeed amazing.

But Michael Phelps also worked his butt off.

The last race was insane though, I love how he pulled through.

Is it just me, or does he look even more exhausted after every race?

Yes. He has to do 8 events in this Olympics.

I went to high school with him (he was a senior when I was a freshie). Dude's an amazing swimmer, certainly. And around here, everybody's proud of him. But in a sense, I'm kind of tired of hearing about him. Maybe things started heading that way when all of a sudden my high school's address changed from 69 Cedar Avenue, to 69 Michael Phelps Way, which is wrong in several ways.

And the principal's office is just one big shrine to Phelps. Kinda scary.

Count me as being impressed with Michael Phelps as well! He definitely earned the nickname "Superman." :thumbs:

I don't get why this guy is so popular. Seems to just be more media hype than anything else.

I wouldnt call someone that has won seven gold medals, like Spitz in 1972, with six records a media hype.
Though what ritorevolto said is pretty scary indeed.
