Thumbs up Another Class Act.

Michael Phelps gave up his spot on the 4X100 Medley Relay so his friend Ian Cocker would have a chance for a Gold Medal. I know he already has a suit case full but one more would have set a new record for the most medals in a single Olympics.

He still wins a gold for the medley as he was the butterfly racer in the prelims. He tied the record for 8 golds on an Olympics.

If you missed the medley, try to catch a rerun, it was an amazing race!

That is a huge understatement

Split time on the 2nd leg was a new world record, and the Silver came in a full 2 seconds behind the US Team. That was something to see. Those guys have propellers for feet.!

Yep, sure was one of the game highlights! Methinks the "Torpedo" may have to relinquish his moniker to a Yank.
