No kidding... Recently just read some article that commented on that motto. One world with one dream... The dream of getting 8 gold medals in one Olympics, THAT'S the dream, alright... Just the recess in school today put it very much in perspective. Never have I seen Victorians cheering someone on without the Red Shirts egging them on. Not to mention he's someone unrelated to not just the school and nation, he's not even AWARE of their cheers...!!
Anyway... I hafta say that Michael Phelps IS someone deserving of all this attention. Greatest Olympian ever to have lived... What a privilege to see someone like this in our era, no? Dreaming of 8 Olympic goals in one Olympics is quite ridiculous already but... breaking the same number of world records TOGETHER with the golds? Well, it's 6 records down now... only 2 more.
Even cooler is the fact that many of the ppl here watching are not even the type who usually keep up with the sports world. Suddenly, there IS someone that you can mention without the person going "Huh? Who?"(Well, maybe with the exception of Li Yawen... :P)
Keep it up, Phelps! Hats off to you!
Btw... Chong Wei's playing tonight! All the best! Get Malaysia's medal in dunno how long, dude! Make us proud!!
