Phelps 3 medals




that is how you would look like when you
win an olympic gold in virtually the last moment
of the race, just 0.08 seconds ahead of the runner up.

Oh, and if you promised the world you would win
8 out of 8 GOLD medals.

Okay he didnt promise it.
But yesterday, Michael Phelps' target/dream
of bagging a record 8 gold medals in a single Olympics
almost went down the drain as team USA
only just won 4 x 100m freestyle men's relay.

Phelps could do nothing but watch
as his teammate Jason Lezak pulled off a miracle comeback
after seeing USA play catch up to France for most of the race.
0.08 seconds, was really too much for me to handle
and my expression was pretty much the same as Phelps'.

They also broke the World Record by a ridiculous
3.99 seconds.
And even more ridiculous, 5 of the teams in dat particular race,
were all under world record timing.

World records have been tumbling for fun
in the swimming scene this year round.
Makes u wonder when it will all stop doesnt it?

At any rate, had Jason Lezak not persevered til the last moment,
Phelps' goal in the Olympics would have come to
a sad and abrupt end.

As for now, he's got either 3 or 4 gold medals already.
And yea, all of them come with new World Records.

So top it all off, lets look at dat million dollar expression
once again.





PS: congrats to Tao Li for fifth place in women's 100m Butterfly.
Fifth fastest in the world, not bad at all.
