Michael Phelps Is the Greatest Olympian of all Time.

Amphibian Michael Phelps continued to blaze an Olympic trail of glory yesterday, smashing two more world records and winning two more gold medals.

This brings his Summer Olympics medal total to eleven.

The announcer at the National Aquatics Center referred to him as "arguably the greatest Olympian of all time." That's some title!

Phelps won medals in the 200 meter relay and the 800 freestyle relay.

"It's everything I ever dreamed about," Phelps said. "On the podium, I kept tearing [up] at it. It's the best thing having four American guys ... swim all well together."

This is Phelps' fourth and fifth wins in Beijing. The record for the most golds in a single Olympics belongs to Mark Spitz. Who better watch his ass!

“Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps won his second gold medal at the Beijing Olympics in the 4x100 freestyle relay race. Phelps said of the relay, "I lost my voice and I was definitely pretty emotional out there." In addition to winning first place, the U.S. men broke the word record previously held for the relay.

The body-fat-free swimmer snagged his first gold of the Olympics in the 400 individual medley, breaking the world record for that event. Michael will also be competing in the finals on Tuesday for the 200 freestyle, with his sights set on his third gold medal of this Olympics.

Yay! Here's to the Olympics and seeing hot men dressed in tiny Speedos!”

“Yesterday Michael Phelps won the first of probably eight gold medals to come at the 2008 Bejing Olympics. I say that like I'm joking, but those are actually the statistics. Because of the eight medals dude won in the '04 Olympics, only six of them were gold, and Mr. Phelps means business this time.

After killing it in yesterday's 400 meter medley, which he won after setting an Olympic record in the prelims, Mike set a world record in the 4x100 meter relay today and got a gold medal for that too.

So basically, this guy is amazing and you better get used to pictures of him holding gold medals, because that's pretty much going to be the theme of this year's swimming Olympic Games. Go U.S.A.”
