phelps is amazing. Altho for me its all about Chris Hoy. Whoever thought of the combination of Scotsmen and bikes was a genius. Its a winning formula! Altho 8 medals is an incredible achievement.
phelps is one of the most accomplished people in america. as a child, he grew up without a father while his mom had trouble with money. then to make things worse he had AD HD. people made fun fun of him and had many struggles but never gave up. he found out that swimming was the best sport for him so he stuck to that and always thought that he would be the best. now look at him, he has all the attention he needs and has the world in disbelief. he has done the impossible and is truly a hero. i wish i could just be like that in swimming!!! he is the best human swimmer ever to walk the land or swim the water.
you knida set yourself up for it. O but Micheal Felps is great. I remember eading about his diet and how much he has to eat cos of all the enrgy he burns off. Its amazing. He eats what one persona would at in a day just for breakfast.
Ok, so I am going to be the first one to branch out and say that Phelps sucks. Go ahead and say what you want, I don't care. He can win a million gold medals and I don't care. The only reason I like him .0001% is because all his medals count towards the US. Phelps is a completely self-centered guy who just wants to ruin everyone else's hard work. Look back at his relay races, when Lizak (sp?) is swimming the anchor and he is swimming his hardest is the camera on him? Nope! Why you ask? Because Phelps is acting an ass on the sideline and because he can mooch a medal off of the hard work of his other team mates. There, I said it. Now I can let this thread die...
