There are heroes and then there are legends. Phelps has become both. To those posting crude and senseless remarks i have only one thing to say to you: you are a poor loser. be a sport and take it like it man don't cry like a coward. Retain what honor you have left and congratulate him. not doing so shows EXTREMELY poor character on your part

listen man, i understand your frustration but Michael is a phenomenal swimmer, a freak of nature. Phenomenal athletes come around every 30 years like Mark spitz, Roger Federer, Tiger Woods,etc. Michael has been breaking records since he was 15 and broke 5 world records in Melbourne in 2007. Michael isn't doing these things only now, he's been phenomenal since 2002. It's been a progression and im not suprised that he won 8 gold medals. I've been following michael's career and i knew it was commin

Hey man I live in Serbia, cavic didnt admitted anything, he just except 2 place, what he can do.

I watch him, when he came here, he didnt know what to say, nothin is proven that he is a 2'nd or first.

Phelps get 8 gold, 2 wr in 2 hours, isnt that a little strange, you must admitted.

stop your hate man. Michael goes to volunteer testing every time he finishes a race. Why do you hate michael so much? there are many people around the world who admire Phelps, you sound like a red neck european.
