Slim ain't the word for it... 0.01 seconds... I don't think he was sure he won at first and the look on his face when he realized how close he came to breaking the streak was priceless.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

I think Phelps is part dolphin, cause ain't no humans that can swim like that.

Yeah... he's pretty much.. "the man"....

Equal with Mr. Spitz.

his (phelps) words.... "I've been lucky enough over the last 4 years to have pretty good finishes..."

Hello Mr. Modest.

Mr. Spitz calls Mr. Phelps "Epic"...

I am as happy as the next person about Phelps getting another gold medal. However why are we just seeing beach volleyball, gymnastics and the swimming? Why can’t we see the judo or anything else? I think we have very poor coverage and the networks involved should be ashamed of themselves. Am I the only one who thinks this way?

Another class act is Dara Torres... Did you see how she delayed the race start so another competitor could finish changing swimsuits after having problems with the suit she was wearing... and then won the race handily.
