I've been watching the Olympic swimming religiously. Like...I've had to see every final...especially if it includes Michael Phelps! And because of that I've definitely witnessed history. Tonight I watched Phelps get his 7th gold in these games to tie Spitz and tomorrow it's pretty likely he'll get his 8th. This last one came down to a hundredth of a second! He was behind in the 100 fly until like the last 10 meters and while the guy in front kicked to the wall, Phelps took one last stroke and beat him! It was amazing! Seriously, he beat him by .01....WOW! (No wonder our swim coaches always said to finish into the wall and not glide in haha!) I was in a little panic because it was so close...I've been rooting for Phelps since 2004 when he had his first shot at the record. I'm so glad he's gotten this far! Can't wait to see the 8th gold race!
And of course Dara Torres! She's 41, the oldest swimmer and she just won her heat of the semi-finals in the 50 free. Can't wait for that final either! I hope she shows those doubters what's up! Age doesn't matter...at least in the pool. (Gymnastics may be another story...but wowzers to Shawn and Nastia!)
Oh and to all my swimmer girls....remember when we got to see Phelps in person? Ahhh...we're so rad! Hahaha little girls today would kill to be us!
