as a result, i'm soooooooo glad to announce that MICHAEL PHELPS swam into history with his eighth and final gold this morning!!! =D
it was really a ground-breaking moment as dad and i sat in front of the television and cheered like there was no tomorrow!!!
it was also Phelps' 14th career Olympic gold, five more than any other athlete in Olympic history.
he also surpassed the record set by Mark Spitz in munich, 1972 for the most gold medals won at a single Olympic Games, which was 7!!
i can't even remember how many world records he broke just in this olympics,
but i was so glad that whenever he swam, i was there to support!! =P
he is like THE man!! =]

obviously not forgetting Usain Bolt, the world's fastest man ever.
he was like super relaxed, calm and cool before the race,
that he was even posing cute stunts for the camera!!
and guess what, the 21-year-old broke his own world record of 9.72 seconds, which he set in June this year, with a stunning world record time of 9.69 seconds.
and to think that it wasnt even his fastest!! -.-
9m before the finishing line, he was already SLOWING DOWN and smiling/waving to the audience!!!
OMG, it just simply meant that the world record could have been lower than the existing 9.72 seconds that he set if he were to just run on full gear till the end!! o.0
in addition, 100m wasnt even supposed to be his best!!!
USAIN BOLT was supposed to be a 200m specialist!!!
so it just goes to say that he have a high chance of obtaining a GOLD for the 200m too!! =]
the world's fastest man- USAIN BOLT!!

not forgetting that Singapore will be cinching at least a SILVER MEDAL tonight,
the first in 48 years!!! =]
so you should know where i will be at 730pm today!!!
[having a date with my television!!! <3]

is loving the olympics!! =]
