Here comes Phelps!!!!

[LaraK]

Are you watching?

 

[OK!]

Yep! Dang, there are a lot of photojournalists there.

What a grueling event....I so don't envy him right now (and this is coming from someone who did the mile in college). 400 IM is awful.

The piece about his mom made me cry.

 

[marciemi]

DH just came in and asked me this exact question!!

 

[amyhughes]

C'mon Phelps!!!

But at least we are no. 1 & no. 2 right now in the race...

 

[OK!]

Under WR pace after fly.

 

[OK!]

Wow, Lochte's making up a TON of ground on breaststroke.

 

[LaraK]

Usa Usa Usa Usa

 

[OK!]

Holy cow...what a performance!

 

[amyhughes]

Woohoo!

#1! And a New World Record to boot!!

 

[LaraK]

Gold Number 1!!!!

They just said he is 3 away from being the biggest Olympic Champion of all time. Could he do that in these games?

Yup...and he can also be the biggest winner in any single Olympic games.

 

[amyhughes]

I was wondering if he has the same schedule as he did in Athens. This could be historic.

 

[LaraK]

What's up with messing up our anthem?

 

[Zippa D Doodah]

Woo hoo! I become a swim fan once every four years. Waddaya know... it's that time again. I hope he can win 7 more.

 

[Olaf]

You have to feel for this guy. Say he only wins four gold medals? Does that make him a failure?

I can't even imagine the pressure.

 

[PixiePop]

Woo Hoo Phelps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of the best parts is that he's a nice kid. He got into some trouble after the last Olympics, but he was a dumb teenager.
