Michel Phelps just matched Mark Spitz's world record of 7 gold medals in swimming. It's not the highest number of gold medals that you can get, but it is sure something to be proud of as an American. And he won the race without using the new speedo that came out last year. He also won by .01 seconds and 1/2 stroke. It's just absolutely amazing how close he was to coming in second.

Now, he has 8 gold medals. I wonder if it is possible to get 9...

'least he doesn't need to use faggetry speedo swim suits that are designed to give you a boost.

Goes to show humans don't need shit like that when you put your mind to it.

Congrats to him!

Michel Phelps = Hax. His body is so weird compared to normal people's, he's very adapted to the water.

How many medals has Canada won this year? Only four? Yup.

Let's see, Phelps has double the number of medals than Canada does, and all of Phelps' are gold.

It seems to me that if Phelps sucks, then Canada's a fucking shithole. ;D


whoa.

Why must I change the thread title? Our women aren't this good. I realize it looks weird, but I couldn't think of something else to call it.

Records are being broken this year for several reasons. The swimsuits, better training, and the unique pool that they are swimming in (many features to reduce the amount of waves like being deeper, specially designed lane seperators, empty lanes on the sides, etc).

I feel sorry for the competitors in the next olympics, trying to match up against all the advantages they have this year. Phelps is a good swimmer, no doubt, but look at what Spitz did without any of these advantages. People like him are the real atheletes.

Other legal "tricks" the atheletes are using:

For those who can't be bothered to read, basically by ingesting baking soda before strenuous exercise, it helps counter the buildup of lactic acid (Lactic acid is the stuff your muscles release when they are working - its the stuff that makes you feel fatigue and pain when you are exercising).

Lactic acid only builds up if you respire anaerobically Blazer, if you're quite fit, and do light exercise, you won't get any. Smile

But, swimming olympic length pools isn't light exercise.

Canada is a second-half team, heh... even our own officials recognize that.

And as of this posting, we are now at 9 medals.

Explosive diarrhea should be an Olympic sport.
