Michael Phelps!!!What a phenomenal feat he has achieved!!Participated in eight events in this Olympics edition won gold in all of them 7 of them being new world records and the rest 1 nevertheless least is an olmypics record.This is such a rare feat that one can just imagine and dream sitting in his car!.But this young american has shown that there is nothing like a dream and everything can be turned into reality.With 8 medals in his precious kitty,sure he has ascended to the top of the world.
"This is a dream come true for me," the swimmer said. He not only accomplished his goal of breaking the seven-gold mark of his countryman Mark Spitz in the 1972 Munich Olympic Games, but also went well beyond that. "I want to be the first Michael Phelps, not the second Mark Spitz," he added.
In Beijing, Phelps swam 17 races, totaling an unmatched length of 3,200 meters in the water. He swept the golds in his favourite events, overpowered competitors in his weak races and still managed to win when his goggle malfunctioned.
Michael Phelps previously in Athens Olympics had won 6 golds(and aslo two bronzes).Now adding to that he has won 14 golds in Olympics so far.This makes him the greatest Olympian of all time and his feat now looks almost tough if not impossible to emulate for years to come.
Growing up in high school, Phelps wasn't hanging out with friends every day or on the weekends. Doing normal high school kid things was something he was never willing to give up. But one piece of information that would make everybody struck in surprise is that in his school grade his mom Debora Phelps was told by one of his teachers that phelps is very much hyperactive and he is totally immature and that he can never really focus on anything in future!!But now he has focused on a greatest world record perhaps and he has achieved it with all his might and focus.
We here at thenewsteller.blogspot.com congratulate the magic man of Olympics and wish him many more success in his career and his life.Keep going Phelps!!
