Another well-deserved tribute to the greatest sportsman ever... Michael Phelps

I just love this news article about him... I quote:

"Dream big, dream as big as you can," he said in Beijing during the opening week of the Olympic Games. "If you dream your biggest dream, anything is possible. No matter what you set your imagination to, anything can happen."

And also the part where people tried to discourage him:

If someone, such as Thorpe, says Phelps can't do something, he will set out to prove them wrong. When Thorpe said in Athens that seven gold medals - Phelps's target in the 2004 Olympics - was "unattainable for me, unattainable for anyone", Phelps stuck those words on his locker door. (Eat THAT, Thorpe)

Seven is not unattainable any more. Nor is eight.

Do you think he will go for NINE?

Here are his maestro achievements:

By the way, you could actually write to him to ask for his autograph! HERE!!!
