Wow, this only happens like once in a hundred years, witnessing the making of the world’s greatest Olympian. I am not sure how he must be feeling now, winning eight Olympic gold medals. Heck, even Michael Phelps himself does not know how to feel.

With eight gold medals in one Games, breaking the record held by Mark Spitz ‘s seven gold medals in one Games which was set in 1972, and being the only athlete with the most Olympic gold medals in the world at 14 right now, moving forward, the world is wondering what else he could achieve. There’s nothing more else to prove. Michael Phelps is the best Olympian ever. Period.

And those of us who witnessed all his swims are in awe and left wondering, besides what played on his iPod (it’s hip hop, by the way), just what kind of engine powered Michael Phelps with each stroke bigger and stronger than the last.

Thank you, Michael Phelps, for showing us that we could achieve our dreams if we set our heart and mind on it.
