nbcolympics.com its broadcast on the internet live!

 

Umm some guy named phelps just did it again

Most gold medals in olympic history now!

 

....they make you sign in each time with your internet provider, location, etc....it's a PITA. I guess beggars can't be chosers....

 

I also stayed up until almost 1 am.....

 

mehhh 2 little clicks for the freedom of watching whatever and whenever you want NBD to me.

 

Four events, four WR. Thanks to CBC I was able to watch it.

(This refers to the 4x200Free, which was actually his fifth gold and fifth WR.)

 

 

Oops, I guess I forgot one. It's actually five WR out of five.

400IM
4x100 Freestyle
200Free
200Fly
4x200Free

Still to come is

100Fly
200IM
4x100Medley (for which I assume he's swimming the butterfly?)

(Interesting side note: The USA had to get in as a wildcard team for the 4x100Medley because one of their swimmers left early in the heat races at the 2007 world championships.)

 

For those of you that are following the Olympics and Mr. Phelps in particular you may find this interesting. Hmmm. Size 14 flippers?

I notice that NPR, quite tactfully, didn't mention anything about his gills.

Did anyone see the "human interest" bit yesterday, where they interviewed his sisters about his being something of a sex symbol? They tried hard to be serious, but the question completely cracked them up. It was hilarious. HPH
