The Olympics

Posted on August 17, 2008 by Leigh

Last night I along with millions of others witnessed Olympic history! Yes I am talking about Michael Phelps’s absolutely mind boggling 8th gold medal of the Olympics! I was only 7 years old when Mark Spitz made his historic bid for 7 back in 1972 but I remember it clearly and I now feel incredably fortunate to have witnessed both of these unforgetable historic events. Who knows when the next Spitz or Phelps may come along that will be able to acomplish such a Phelpsian feat. After all it took 36 years for Phelps to surpass Spitz’s record and 9 gold medals in one Olympics is almost unimaginable.

If you like what you see buy me a beer!
