Michael Phelps gets number 10 overall...
 

U.S. domination...

he really is an amazing athlete

10 and many many more to go

The Lance Armstrong of aquatics.

Make it 11.

That relay they swam tonight was incredible, the US guys were like 3 body lengths in front of the rest of the heap. I don't remember ever seeing that race so lopsided in all the times I've watched it.

He is making our Aussie swimmers look really bad...

He's not done. Swimming again in a few more mins. :thumbsup

Add on 1 more gold...even broke another record. :)

And another gold and world record. Guy's a machine!

He is like a fish!

They need to check him for Gills.

Way to represent Maryland!

This is just awesome! Tia

he is so good... noone can make him loose..

Let's not go too far.. Thorpe made him his bitch quite a lot before he retired, but he's certainly developed into a phenomenon in the intervening years. Chopping them up at the moment.

I really think he will do it with the 8 golds

Amazing..

A great accomplishment. I still rank Steve Redgrave as my top Olympian though.

He's definitely tearing things up this summer, but it makes me wonder if he be dominating as much if the LRZ racer swimsuit wasn't available.

I feel this new suit takes away from the true spirit of the games, and that being person vs. person on equal grounds. Now, it seems gear is making all difference and its no longer just the athlete's ability anymore.

Today pharmaceutics are really great :)
just kiding, he is ONE GREAT swimmer!

Phelps is just an AMAZING athlete! Been great watching his events!

This guy really deserves all those medals. He's a great athlete!!!

amazing performances on the World stage.. congrats to him

Only in the Limey universe.

:winkwink:

They showed Phelp's daily routine the other day, basically what he's been doing for the past 4+ years straight. The guy is a machine is right. Eat - swim - sleep. Period.

Did anyone see what his diet consists of? I've seen 350 lb linemen in the CFL that don't eat as much as Phelps. The guy is single-handedly keeping all the restaurants in his area in business.

The amount of time he spends in the pool is now paying off big time for him. I doubt most people could dedicate themselves to that degree for that long a time.

And anywhere else where gold in five consecutive Olympics is respected.

Phelps is the coolest guy in the world!!!

He done good for a swimmer but no way hes the best olympian athletes likes being made out, the fact you can swim in a different swimming event every day shows the huge difference physically between swimming and something like running/rowing swimming is so much easier on the body.

That was incredible to watch!
