This is probably one day late, but I find this really late! I should've posted the minute Jason Lezak touched that board.
Well, congrats to the "greatest" Olympian of all time. MP definitely deserved this. But you gotta take in the fact that no one else could've done this. Other sports in the Olympics don't have as many events as Swimming does. But still he had to do what other people really can't do. He had to win when we expected him to win. Teamwork or individual, he still pulls the U.S. to the top with his perfect structure for swimming.
I know it's probably a little cliche to say that I AM obsessed with MP. He's just the best. He's even the most humble guy out there. He doesn't brag about having won eight gold medals in one Olympic game or breaking eight record, most of which were his.
It wouldn't be fair for me to say that in the relays, that Michael Phelps did all the work or without him they wouldn't have won. It's really a team effort. MP just pushed them further. One of the most amazing things I've ever seen was the time split between Lezak's and Bernard's finish. The other has to be MP's 1/100 split which gave him his seventh medal.
GO PHELPS!! Hope swimming brings you further into your career!
