36 years after Mark Spitz did it, another American Michael Phelps and his remarkable team mates make Olympic history: 8 Gold Medals. Congratulations to the man, and the fantastic team behind him.
In the water 3 medals came from a team effort, very talented swimmers like Jason Lezak, made it all possible. Lezak helped break the world record yesterday, and brought the 8th. gold, he was also instrumental in winning another tough relay race before.
Out of the water, a whole family mother, father, and sisters supported him for over a decade. And let us not forget the years of dedication and effort from the man who put it all together: Michael Phelps, who is deservedly in the history books now.
