Which record? The one about 40 minutes ago? He's been breaking records like crazy, he broke the olympic record in qualifying earlier today for an event. Then broke the world record tonight...

It's absolutley amazing how good he is. To be up against the best swimmers on the entire planet and to be that dominant is just crazy. 6 billion people on the planet and he can safely say he is the best swimmer in the world.

Does anyone else notice the huge amount of diversity on the US teams compared with other countries? Makes me proud

Yeah, that one girl's mistakes in the beam and the floor routine were enough to make up the difference in points for the win, I think.

Phelps is a freaking machine, I can't believe the lead he gave us in that 4x200m relay.. He certainly deserves the title of the greatest olympian

It's almost ridiculous how good he is. They are drug tested before every race too so we can be pretty sure that he is just a naturally amazing athelete.

China is beating us pretty badly in the gold metal count.. 17 to 10.

Are we expected to catch up at all?

Phelps has 5 of the 10. Ugh.

Yeah I dunno. We will eventually win gold in basketball. So that's one more. We will get a few more in swimming probably. Have they started track and field yet? We might win some in sprinting, maybe shotput or discus, but the distance events will go to some kenyan probably.
