Now that deserves a :jaysome:.

Amazing athlete, pure talent and hes only 23, jeez.

Have you seen how small his head is compared to his body? It looks really weird :P hes definitely built for swimming.

Hes one dedicated man.

[Ifafudafi]

I don't care for any athletic events/people much (I'm probably one of about three people in the world who aren't that excited about the Olympics), but I do have to admit this guy's damn good at what he does.

And he comes from mah country, so I can't help but feel some satisfaction. :awesome:

[Bodzilla]

I call Pax

where for art thou Thorpey D:?

[Hotrod]

Well, since he's not from my country, this isn't that good of news for me, but I can respect the fact that he's an amazing athlete. I hope he goes far in his career, or athlete-ism, whatever you want to call it.

You know Phelps has to eat 8000-10000 calories a day just to not lose weight?

[Limited]

^
Can definitely tell his American from that gif :P

He still has more events to compete in, so I reckon he will get the record.

[ima_from_America]

He's phucking awesome.

[ExAm]

Xetsuei™;290035']You know Phelps has to eat 8000-10000 calories a day just to not lose weight?In competition, it's more like 12,000 (http://donklephant.com/2008/08/13/you-wont-believe-what-michael-phelps-eats-everyday/)

[STLRamsFan]

Never mind the calories, whats fascinating to me is how he can perform so well with all that poop inside him. I wonder if he times his meals so he can schedule a massive dump before he swims - hitting the pool before he hits the pool, so to speak.

Haha that cracked me up.

I still find it very impressive with what he's able to accomplish. Swimming the way he is isn't an easy task. Props to him for his accomplishments. Now go get some more gold medals! :)

I thought as long as its over 9000 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vq5csKvXCT4) it did not matter.

Still though that's pretty intense.

[StankBacon]

i haven't watched a single event, and i couldn't care less.

[L0d3x]

He's quite the athlete for sure. Though I don't see why this makes you all yell "America, fuck yeah". I mean, other countries have amazing athletes as well :p:p:p

[Rob Oplawar]

What, just because you have athletes too means we aren't allowed to be proud of ours?

wooo go America!

Also, I can't remember his name right now (I'll go figure it out and come back with it), but my mom babysat for one of the American gymnasts- the son of the astronaut- when he was a little kid. She says he was the extremely energetic jumping-all-over-the-place type. XD

[Hotrod]

One of my acquaintance's boyfriend is going to the next summer Olympics, so that's pretty cool.

[Party_Grunt]

Phelps is amazing. Hes broke the world record in every single event he has won gold in.

Competition has been fierce. The Chinese have been dominating in many events, but noone can touch Phelps.

[SnaFuBAR]

actually yeah, he does. oh, yeah, love the sig, thanks man :D

Chinese have especially dominated in competitions with judges.
I don't care if they're the hosts, that shouldn't be the reason they get through games.

[SnaFuBAR]

it's not. they're gymnasts and divers completely blow away the competition. they're carrying themselves.

[ExAm]

The judges are from several countries, so they can't skate by on a biased Chinese judge, IIRC.

[Party_Grunt]

Chinese have especially dominated in competitions with judges.
I don't care if they're the hosts, that shouldn't be the reason they get through games.You forget they are Chinese, there is 1.3 billion. The Chinese government selects them when they are very young, and literally the only purpose of their early lives is to train for the Olympics. They have no job but to train and perfect their skills. The fact that they are in Bejing only makes them compete stronger, and their numbers are about the same as USA team (about 600 something on both sides). These are extremely experienced, extremely disciplined athletes.

[DOMINATOR]

uhh not yet. he now has 6 the record is 7 golds in 1 olympic.
12 total gold medals for phelp's career.

oh yeah phelps with another win in which he blew the competition out of the pool.

[STLRamsFan]

Wow that's amazing. He's absolutely on fire right now.

[OmegaDragon]

This guy is amazing O.o So much stamina, and all he eats is pizza and pasta to keep up with his 10000-12000 calorie diet. o.o

[Limited]

6 out of 6 with 6 WR, this guys just a talent to watch.

He has 2 more events tomorrow, the relay and individual butterfly (which hes king at) so pretty much he'll get gold in them all :D

[Rosco]

it's not. they're gymnasts and divers completely blow away the competition. they're carrying themselves.

I'm talking about one of the boxing games, heck I hardly care about the olympics, but the freakin dude ran away for most of the game :maddowns:

[Party_Grunt]

Boxing hits are only counted with a square hit to the body with the white part of the glove. Its weird compared to what is considered normal boxing where all punches are considered.

Any one have the former US gymnastics coach going crazy after the American girl was certain to win the gold last night? The guy went absolutely nuts. I have it on my DVR but have no way to transfer it to computer that I know of.

[jngrow]

Iunno who he was, but there was this random guy on NBC, some expert or something, who was going insane while watching the final round of women's all-around gymnastics. Lolz ensued.

Anyone just watch Phelps win by .01 seconds. I thought he had lost.

[Agnaiel]

Posted just minutes after Phelps' seventh win, and I have to say, that was too fuckin' close. One one-hundredth of a second! The entire time I thought he was going to lose.

This man truly is incredible.

hah, that looks like a tie to me

[Limited]

Woah, fingertip win :O The other guy must be gutted.

I never saw the russian guy, probably cuz BBC bothered to put the final on fullscreen. I though the smaller american should have got it =\

[Hotrod]

Just by looking at it, I can't tell who won, looks perfectly synchronized.

[Xetsuei]

Just by looking at it, I can't tell who won, looks perfectly synchronized.

Perfectly synchronized? Not really, the other guy glided in while Michael took one last stroke. But if you're talking about when the hands touch, yeah it looks almost exact.

[Limited]

Minutes to go before the relay with Phelps in it. This could be great.

Cmon USA and GB!:D

[Roostervier]

I'm watching it too. I hope they win. : D

e: Fuck yeah! They win! :woop:

[Limited]

:D congrats to USA. GB were 6th :( no wear near medals.

8 out of 8 with 8 WR's, Phelps is the greatest ever.

[Party_Grunt]

8 medals for Phelps!!!!

lol, USA has never lost this race in over 112 years.

[STLRamsFan]

Woo, awesome to see something like this happen. And to think that this has never happened before. Way to go Phelps!

[Warsaw]

Now, let's see if he can pull off a ninth tomorrow...:D.

Fantastic job Phelps!

[Xetsuei]

Rofl...dude there's only eight.

[SnaFuBAR]

AMAZING!

[BobtheGreatII]

Xetsuei™;290926']Rofl...dude there's only eight.

Wouldn't surprise me if they give him another one just for being made of win.

[SnaFuBAR]

They gave him some kind of olympic recognition award or something with his last gold metal. Oh, and the Chinese gave him a nickname; "Flying Fish".

[Cortexian]

What ELSE would he have been referring to other than the hands touching the wall? That's what that ENTIRE gif is showing off, the incredibly close win.

[Limited]

I thought his nickname was already Baltimore Bullet.

Well olympics are over =\. Britain is officially the hosts of the olympics now WOOT :D:D:D our athletes just got of the plane all happy showing their medals :D

This was our best olympics for 100 years medals wise, its a shame those cheating chinese bastards came first =\ was hoping USA would.

My towns holding the water sports for next olympics woot :D

[SMASH]

I'd pay you cash money to see you jump in the pool right before of the divers just to "make a splash" ;). That'd be funny as hell.

Seriously...

The Brits were quite amazing in the boating events though. If they work on the sprint at the end, they can take back the 'trophy' from Australia and New Zealand. USA was just...no...at those (except women's single sculls).

[Xetsuei]

Did anyone see Jimmy Page playing at the closing ceremony? Man that was fucking amazing. You can't find it anywhere on youtube because they take all the videos down of it. :mad:

I thought it sucked. Maybe it got better after the first 30 sec, but I already turned the tv off by then.

The singing was crap, but Jimmy was amazing :D
