This guy is not human. I'm not even American and i'm giving this guy props.
He just won his 5th gold medal, broke the record for gold medals, and all of his medals are in world record time.
And i just witnessed him win 2 golds within 2 hours. Not sure if that was real time but still. Amazing.

Did you see his interview of what he eats on a day to day basis. He consumes over 10,000 calories a day, I am pretty sure his breakfast is more than what i consume with 3 meals.

Perhaps because those are the common spellings and I guess the majority of us don't worship sportscenter enough to know or really care about the transposition of two letters?

Phelps is a beast.

swimmings alot more about form than strength, so i dont think taking steroids would be all that useful to him anyways

Haha yeah, the top 5 teams from the men's relay that we won broke the world record because of the new Lazer Suits.

A kid I know is sponsored and gets them for free, and he said those things are so thin that they wear out in just a few swims.

i dont think so.  he is part of a voluntary "super" drug screening program thats spose to be catching up with the doping scene.

"He’s also one of the dozen American team members (along with sprinter Tyson Gay) that signed up to additional blood and urine testing in a canvassing effort for drug-free sport."

http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/sport/2008/0813/1218477454327.html

i just looked up any facts i could. to make sure i wasnt wrong.

He is a beast. I get so pumped watching him. Like I really just wanna get back in the water and go train.

Hopefully Mike Brown can get Canada a medal...

MIchael phelps is terrifying, probably one of the most intense athletes out there. I've given up cheering for canada (less mike brown) and i just want him to win all 9 golds. In the relay, how far ahead he went was laughable. But i have to give some credit to brent hayden (3rd canadian). He was the world champion in i think 100m freestyle, and even though he fucked up his own event pretty hard, he put canada in second from 5th when he swam. If he'd gone last, canada might have had a medal, i think.

Haha, on the radio station I listen to this morning they were talking about how he's getting all the multi million dollar contracts now.  And the guy's like "Hang on, I get here at 4:30 in the morning and work my ass off all day for nothing, this guy swans around all day and does a little bit of swimming and he's making mega bucks!"

Okay I vote that everyone who is not a swimmer should just not post their opinions.  Speedo, TYR, and Nike make a newer, faster suit every year.  In 2000 we had Aquablades, then Fastskins, then Fastskin IIs, and now LZR.  EVERYONE WEARS THEM.  Even middle school kids, and anyone who is on a big enough team gets a free one.  More than half the people in the races swim for Speedo, which is why all the records are in Speedo's new suits.  Yet every Olympics it becomes a big controversy because that's the only time people actually watch swimming.  These suits were out at World Championships too...and there were different results in a lot of races.  The suit makes little difference, if any at all.

It depends on the race.  In the 400 free relay the races are close sprints, so the fastest usually goes last.  Some coaches like to get a lead first though, so if they have the team to do it they will set it up that way.
