The Greatest Olympian
I can't help not to talk about him.... he is the main reason why I can wake up early to watch swimming without complaints.
Michael Phelps won his 10th and 11th gold medal today, making him the athlete that won the most number of gold medals of all time.
HE IS AMAZING!
And I like the title some articles are giving to him...
THE GREATEST OLYMPIAN OF ALL TIME
And the way he started off the 4x200m freestyle relay is crazy! Shaving off 2 secs off the world record pace...
Btw, I heard the commentor said during the 100m free semi-final that 9 out of 10 fastest 100m freestyle swimmers are in the semi-final and the only one missing is the 3rd fastest which is Phelps.. lol. Shows how great a swimmer he is!
So the events left for him are:
1. 200 m individual medley
2. 100 m butterfly
3. 4 x 100 m medley relay
And the last swimming event will happen this sunday... I am so getting the withdrawal sympthoms then!!!
Btw, I was just thinking, lucky I am still in school this sem. Or else I am going to die knowing that I am struck at work and unable to watch swimming in the morning! (at least now I can watch them on my free days... =D)
And I wish that he can teach me how to swim because I know that I will finally learn how to when he teaches me =D =D =D =D =D
Ok, better get to bed now. Tml contractors are coming to my kitchen for renovation early in the morning which will make me unable to sleep...
