Here it goes, another writing about the Olympic Games. I am not a fan of swimming, but I guess I can make an exception now. It was not actually swimming in general, but more because of Michael Phelps, the 23-years-old swimmer from the USA.

He is catching the eyes of media around the world because he said that he wanted to break the record of the most gold medals won in a single Olympic Games. The last record belonged to Mark Spitz with 7 gold medals which he won in the 1972 Olympic Games.

I have also read that Michael Phelps is considered as the greatest Olympian with 12 Gold medals won as of now. He can make that 14 if he wins his targeted 2 more gold medals, while breaking Mark Spitz’s record also. It sure will make a very nice trophies for the Americans.

Anyway, he sure is an inspiration for many people out there, and I hope he will succeed in achieving his goals.
