Wow. He does it. Swimming the butterfly, the third spot, in the 100 Meter Meledy, Phelps overtakes Spitz and wins his eighth GOLD medal in a single Oylmpics. He burned away his number one competetor, Austrailia, and gave Jason Leizak the cushion he needed to finish the race. 8 Gold medals guys. Its a big thing. So American Michael Phelps goes down into history as the winningest swimmer and the most decorated OLYMPIAN in history with 8 gold medals. A journey that started four years ago after his six-gold performance in Athens and included 17 swims over nine days here ended triumphantly for him.

That was awesome, as was his “win by a fingernail” the other night.
My favorite moment of the whole Olympics so far is still the 4 × 100 freestyle relay where Lezak caught the French guy on the last lap.
My wife and were jumping up and down and cheering as if it were an Eagles game.
