6 - 7 - 8 DOWN!

History has been made. 8 events. 8 Golds. 8 World records. I know I am kind of late on this post but lately I just haven't been signing into my blogger, on the account that I now longer have steady job haha. But it is alright. I'm back because there is nothing to do during the week.

But I digress, the 8 golds came with their fair share of dramatics. Jason Lezaks come from behind victory in the 2oom relay. As well as the one one-hundreth of a second come fomr behind victory for Phelps in the 100m fly. It was a roller coaster ride and I am glad to have been there to see it all.

Five Down!

Whaddup! Another event and another gold. That puts Phelps at five. Which puts his total at 11. 11 gold medals for this Olympian which is now eclipsing Spitz and Carl Lewis who both only had 9 in their respective Olympics.

The US Relay team won the 4 by 200m freestyle with relative ease in of course world record time.

Four Down!

200m fly. Another win, another gold, another world record. Can't say it enough; he's the most dominant olympian to every compete in the games.

Three Down!

Another world record and another gold medal. Nothing more to really say.

Phelps was never challenged in the 200m and lead from the moment he exploded off the blocks. After 150 metres, he had built a 1.77-second advantage and could have floated to the wall and still won.

Two Down!

Jason Lezak is the man of the hour. Two golds now for Michael Phelps in what were supposed to be his two toughest events. The US 4 by 100m relay team smashed the world record by four seconds and beat France by .08 seconds. Now those are numbers.
