The Great Haul of China
August 17, 2008
Nope .. not talking about Team Canada’s recent 3 medal earnings but rather Michael Phelps’ 7 and counting gold medal haul. The 7th was simply amazing that he even got it. The whole family was watching and we all thought immediately that he didn’t get it and were shocked to see he won by the width of the clipping of a fingernail. No one has brought up the fact that the timing company Omega is Phelps’ sponsor ….
Nice kid, humble and a real winner. Wish he was Canadian.
Sorry to say this, but… if he was a Canadian he would likely not have achieved 8 golds. He wouldn’t have the support, nor the teammates to have pulled it off. That said, after watching an interview with him, indeed he does seem like a truly down to earth, classy person. It wasn’t what I’d expected.
