The British commentators were still talking about Phelps in the next race too, but then switched to talking about Rebecca Adlington and her amazing race and smashing the world record! Double gold for her. And she's only 19.
Well done Rebecca! |

Yeah great job Rebecca!!!
And holy smokes about Phelps' latest win. How did he do it? His invisible angel wings of course. |

any chance i can stop hearing his name now?
erg, visa already has an 8 medal commerical? i was over this before it started. now i think i might crawl under a rock for a couple weeks.
oh now there is a dvd....
atleast Ian Thorpe is there. Him i like.
oh and i couldnt disagree more about him being the greatest athlete ever. Was Mark Spitz previously the greatest athlete? i think not. The first name that comes to mind for that is Lance Armstrong, but im sure a little more thought and i could think of a whole list. |
