Sport Story of the Week


Michael Phelps is a GOLDfish

The big topic this week is Michael Phelps winning 8 gold medals while setting 7 new world records in the process at the Olympics. He also set the record for the most career gold medals by any one person with 15. I would have to say the most impressive thing about Michael Phelps is how he can make the sport of swimming the most watched sport during these Olympic games. He took a sport that consists of a bunch of guys kicking their feet and slapping their hands in the water and turned them into the most exciting races some of us will ever watch. The word on the Beiing street is that Michael will be taking a few months off to recover and then will get back to work to train for some brand new swimming events. They should create an event with Michael Phelps vs. 4 of the best swimmers in the world. It would be a relay for the 4 swimmers and Michael would just take them on by himself. That would be fun to watch.
