Lucky Number 8

That's right I'm talking about Michael Phelps again!

I've never been interested in the swimming portion of the Olympics before until 4 years ago in Athens. And of course this year is all about Michael. Granted there are a few others that are also enjoyable to see including the "young" Dara Torres and the amazing relay finisher of Jason Lezak. But let's face it almost all of America is talking about Michael (I say almost all and I'll explain this in a minute)

I found this today on MSN featuring Michael's most recent Sports Illustrated cover. Man check that out. That is the coolest thing! They look so good against that nice chest (oh wait I shouldn't say that huh? LOL)

Now that the swimming is over I'm just waiting for a few other finals: 4X400 and 4X100 Track and Field relays. End results of the basketball and volleyball (though I probably won't watch much of these) and looking forward to the Closing Ceremonies. You know they're gonna have to "bring it" after what they did for the Opening Ceremonies!!!

OH! and as for "almost all America" is watching Michael Phelps.... Read this article on MSN as well.

Poor Jennifer Lopez. The new mom is training for a triathlon, but everyone is too busy watching the Olympics to notice.

Lopez, who appeared on "Good Morning America" Aug. 18 to discuss her preparations for the Malibu Triathlon, was overheard saying after the segment that she “couldn’t understand why everyone is talking about that swimmer,” according to a GMA source. “She couldn’t come up with (eight-time gold-medal winner Michael) Phelps’ name, and then she yammered on about how she was the one training for a triathlon just six months after giving birth, and how that was the big story right now, not ‘the swimmer.’ ”

What a big ole spoiled little girl... Really, who does she think she is? I guess people never cease to amaze me.

Dara Torres has an amazing body and has inspired a lot of women to participate in sports and take interest in fitness that are over 40.
