Hey, he broke the world Record. That certainly deserves him his own thread, right?  ;D

He's the man and will obviously be a common name up there with other athletic greats like Pele, Magic, Jordan, Muhammad Ali and others. I'm sure he will have lines of girls waiting for him when he returns to his hometown. Congrats to Michael!

Go USA!

He was impressive.  I would consider that Jamaican guy that started celebrating before the 100 was over very impressive as well.  I have never seen anything like that.  Both of them put on super human performances.

Lawrence: I'll tell you what I'd do, man: two chicks at the same time, man.
Peter Gibbons: That's it? If you had a million dollars, you'd do two chicks at the same time?
Lawrence: Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I were a millionaire I could hook that up, too; 'cause chicks dig dudes with money.
Peter Gibbons: Well, not all chicks.
Lawrence: Well, the type of chicks that'd double up on a dude like me do.
Peter Gibbons: Good point.

Totally agree man....that was an incredible performance.  He set a new world record, easily won the gold medal, and he pulled up at LEAST 15 meters before the end of the race.  Possibly 20 meters.  And the 100 isn't even his event.

Oh, and Phelps, yep, pretty incredible on the medal haul.  Ugly and goofy looking as sin, but an impressive athlete.  I watched the replay on the 100m butterfly finish (7th medal) at least a dozen times and I still can't believe he out touched that other guy - even though I watched it and saw it with my own eyes.  That, and the 1st relay finish were amazing.

Am I the only one thinking 2 olympics in a row winning the 100m freestyle is more impressive? Very sad Hoogie did not pull out number 3:(
Or our Anky, being on the medal stand 5 olympics in a row. At least she has a nice and very genuine horse-smile. I don't like Phelps' russian/east-germany-anabole face (although I kind of like the cartoonish over-the-top looks of the French guy who won the 100 freestyle, he's straight from Frankenstein!).
Or just watch the giggling 4 girls who won the 4x100. That is everything but serious focussed athletes if you look at them :D
