I'm Australian, but would love to see MP get his 8 medals, as he is a truly remarkable swimmer.

I read somewhere that when he's in training he's on a 7,000 calorie-per-day diet. Absolutely phenomenal Olympian.

When Phelps opponents, who are also world class athletes, tell the media before the race that they can not possibly win, you know he is something special.

Great swimmer and made a new World Record. The Korean commentators were really annoying and I had to turn the volume down 'cos I didn't want to hear about "Golden Boy". When Phelps got a new WR the commentators instantly went to how Park was good and would be able to get gold next time, no mention of the WR.

I rarely get all "SWEET CHRIST IS HE GOOD" about a sports star but good lord, that man is a beast.

In the 200m freestyle, he was nearly half a body leangth ahead of everyone before he even SURFACED after the dive.

During the OMG PARK WON A SILVER slow motion replay, you can see all the swimmers neck and neck and then Phelps just pops up out of the water well ahead of the pack, before he even took his first stroke.
