The 1 Greatest (Olympic) Athlete in History

Sports
No one - at least in my lifetime - has made it look this easy. Michael Phelps will be going for his seventh gold medal of the Games tonight in the 100m Butterfly, and would tie Mark Spitz's record of the '72 Munich Games - should he win - with still one race to swim. He has already surpassed the great Jenny Thompson as the most decorated Olympic Swimmer ever (she won 12 medals over the course of four Olympics - his 14 medals have come out of just two.) And it is impossible to deny the class with which he has handled himself in Beijing; he is an extraordinary representative of both his country and the sport of swimming. So do yourself a favor, and watch history in the making tonight...GO MP!
