Hahaha, even when he has no business winning he still wins. No one can beat Phelps.

he's certainly in the pantheon. the overrated charge is basically raised against people who say that phelps dwarfs and makes irrelevant olympic greats from the past. just don't forget past greats, and have fun praising phelps. he deserves it

Another gold medal today. This is his 7th I believe? With ANOTHER Olympic Record.

Just wow... I think he has more or the same amount of gold medals that South Korea has earned to this point.

My personal favorite fact is a variant on what someone said here earlier:

If Michael Phelps were his own country, he would be fourth in Gold Medal count right now.

Absurd.

That said, I reeeeeeally don't know how he pulled out that last one. Seriously, even with the super-slow-mo replay, maybe it was the angle they showed it from, but I'm really not sure how he touched the wall first (That said, if the sensors or whatever they use say he did, I guess he did).

Aren't they the only broadcasting company that have rights to the Olympics here? :O

He IS, without him the US team would've probably finished 3rd after Australia and Japan.
