After smashing 7 world records and 1 Olympic record, Micheal Phelps, aka "The Baltimore Bullet", has gotten all the gold medals that he was aiming for! On Sunday (17/8/08), Phelps and his team managed to grab the gold medal to bring his medal tally to 8. In the first two rounds of the relay medley, the US were lagging behind in 3rd place, but Phelps and teammate Jason Lezak managed to turn the tides on their opponents!
In his second last race, Phelps nearly lost his gold to a Serbian, Milorad Cavic, but thanks to his speed, managed to miss getting the silver medal by just 1 millisecond. Very close indeed.
Well, let's hope he can do the same in the 2012 London Olympics! I wish him all the best!
