It happened. In China, where eight is considered a lucky number, where the Beijing Olympics began on August 8, 2008, at 8:00 PM, Michael Phelps won his eighth gold medal of the Games, winning the most gold medals in a single Olympiad and racking up fourteen career gold medals over all.
Watching Michael Phelps swim was like what experiencing Elvis Presley must have been like back in 1956. You knew you were watching something more than just a phenomenon, something that hadn't been done before and may never be achieved again.
Track and field and the remaining team sport events seem anticlimactic now. Here's to you, Michael - the world is your crab cake! :-D
He's from Baltimore, you understand . . .
