Mr Phelps how are you going on the record 8 gold medals?
How does being crushed under the Ian Thorpe bus feel?
Beating both the Americans and Dutch at the one time could only be bettered if you through the English into the mix, but everybody knows those bastards can't swim. |

I don't see where he choked....phelps wasn't even the favorite, Thorpe was..and the Dutchy was proabably picked just as much to win/finish in the medals. The US coach didn't even want Phelps to swim in the 200 Free...and he still takes bronze.
He had a chance to win 8 golds...I don't think anyone actually thought he would do it...but if he gets 6 or seven medals....I don't think he will be considered a choker for doing that. And if it is....then all the other 11,000 athletes that don't medal...wow...they must be total losers for even trying. |

| a lost in a big match isn't a choke, it's only a loss if you're favored. he was a top contender for 8 golds, not the favorite. |

Actually the british are quite good at swimming. Recently t GPS (school group that compete in swimming, atheltics etc against each other) South Port imported british swimmers. Not to say we didn't put up a good fight but they beat us in the last quarter. I say congrats to them as we import our Football players ... but we lost that even. |

I never saw Phelps winning the 200 in the first place, especially not after the qualification and semifinals..
I thought Thorpe would win, but of course I would have loved to see Van Den Hoogenband (that Dutchy :p) win.. It just was not meant to be, Thorpe was too strong.
Phelps is still pretty talented though, and he already won a gold medal, he should be a happy man (or boy, as he's still only 19).. |

| Phelps wasn't favoured to win the 200 free, that's not his best racing style. The American media hyped him out of proportion, but I bet he will win another three golds. |

You weren't complaining when we 'threw' your criminal asses out of the UK all those years ago ;)
Bring on next summers Ashes series and we'll show you that we're now better than you :D |
