Gold #8

Michael Phelps won Gold #8 last night in spectacular fashion- and made history doing so. We've got another week of Olympics yet, but I doubt any events can match up the excitement of swimming on both sides- and as all-time Olympic Great, holder of the most gold medals won in a single Olympics (8) and only 23 the mind boggles as to what Michael Phelps can accomplish over the course of his career... he can add to the total in 2012 to be sure- and maybe round it out in 2016? The crazy thing is that Dara Torres is 41! And if Phelps can match her- well then his final medal total for the Olympics could be beyond flippin' ridiculous. But incredible.
