It was by far one of the greatest Olympic moments I've ever seen. You had to stay up till 11? What time do you normally go to bed... 9?

Mark Spitz has 9 golds, 1 silver and 1 bronze in his career. most gold overall in any olympic sport goes to Ray Ewry of USA (track & field). he won 10 medals total in his career and all were gold.

Re: Official Summer Olympics 2008 Thread Phelps was amazing in the 200m freestyle. That wasn't just a win, that was a dominating win. He was well ahead right from the very start. Insanely strong start and finish, what a lovely race. Sweet stuff.
Peace,
Mike
