World Championships

WOW!!! The US kicked some serious butt down under. How many people think Michael Phelps can win 8 medals in Bejing??? I first met Michael in Sydney durning his first Olympics when he was 15 years old. You have to know that it was incredible that Michael made the Olympic team at 15.....most of the guys tend to be in their early 20's. He was extraordinary from that day...and has only amazed me more over the years. It is incredible to be able to dominate one Olympics....it is going to be unbelievable if he does it again. why??? because the sport of swimming is so demanding...so much training...so easy to find a reason not to do it. it helps that he loves to train. How exciting for the US.
