The latest update I read on American swimmer Michael Phelps is that he got his 6th Olympic gold medal in the men’s 200-meter individual medley final at the Beijing 2008 Olympics on Friday, Aug. 15, 2008. He is simply amazing! He also got another world record today, Friday as his sixth world record in Beijing erased his own mark of 1:54.80 at the U.S. trials last month. Phelps is aiming for eight golds in this Olympics and he would be the greatest Olympian ever as they would call him if ever. He is already the athlete with the most wins in the history of the Olympic games with twelve gold medals. He has won two bronze medals in Athens, Greece 2004 Olympics. I will look forward to that 8th gold medal of Phelps.
