Ok So I have been a Michael Phleps fan since last Olympics in 2004. I never really cared about the summer Olympics, til him :P He caught my attention in the 2004 Olympics. How could he not? :DBut OMG he's totally blown me away this year!
So if anyone has kept up on his swimming or the Olympics in general so far, you would know he just won his 11Th GOLD metal of his career.
Oh BTW no one in the history of the Olympics has done that! He won I think 7 or 8 metals in 2004
Right now your probably thinking wow not bad. But 5 of them are from just this Olympics. He's won NOTHING but gold so far!!
In 2004 he won 6 gold, and a silver & bronze.
But he has 3 more metals to go for this Olympics. I am sure they will be gold as well! That will also be another Olympic history making event. I'm pretty sure the most gold metal won in one Olympics by a person was 7 or 6. Something like that.
But he's already swam 8 times out of the 17 he has. He's insane! And everything he has won in China has been at world record speed! Which they were already his world records to break!
So this is why I'm pretty sure he's a god or something. A descendant from the Greek god Poseidon, the ruler of the seas!
Here's a video of his 1st swim of the games. Kinda crappy. But gives you a better idea of his awesomeness!
