Michael Phelps...all you can say is wow. I think it really hit me during his 100m Butterfly race, when he was a full body length ahead of the field, winning by 2 seconds...that was the BEST the world had to offer, and they couldn't get it done...amazing. The effort, the years of hard work, all came down to a period 0f 7 days that Michael will never forget. I am not quite sure if he is the greatest Olympian ever, as some are calling him. Jesse Owens may have something to say about that. But in a day in age of cheating, doping, steroid/HGH use, it is refreshing to see someone excel by doing things the right way; TRAINING HARD and having a relentless attitude.

Congrats Michael, I wish I could say we are related!
