I wonder how many of his own records he'll break at the 2012 Olympics?

Now, who holds the record for total? He's got...14 gold now. Right?

Great job by Michael. He just finds a way to win!

Wikipedia says he is second in medal count all time, behind a Russian gymnast with 18. Very easily could come back in 2012 and get that record as well.

I don't understand what all the hubbub is about. All he did was win eight golds and set seven new world records.
Oh wait. yeah, that ROCKS!

I watched every race and never stopped being amazed.

I've enjoyed every moment of this experience...kept my kids up 1 1/2 hours past their usual bed time so they could experience and remember it....He's clearly in the discussion for greatest athlete of all time.

What is amazing to me is that there are 5 photos before Michael Phelps touches the wall and he is behind the other guy in the first 4 photos. How did he do that?
