The only Olympic games I have enjoyed more were the 1980 hockey team.

That was such a great race! My husband and I were jumping all over the living room screaming at the TV! I don't think we've ever been so excited about any sport before! Michael Phelps really is the real deal all the way around. Its great too to see how much he loves and respects his mom!

Answer 6

I have been watching all of Michael's races, but last night I was with a friend and we were supposed to go out because it was Saturday night and I thought I would miss the eighth gold medal. Things didn't go as planned so we ended up walking for about and hour until we found a Carl's Jr.  We went inside to buy something to drink and noticed that the race was about to start. People left their hamburgers on the table and stood up to gather around the tv.  I should mention that I'm currently living in Mexico, but people's spirit was amazing, everyone was yelling at the tv and jumping all over supporting Phelps.  You can imagine people's reaction when Lezak finished first!  We were all celebrating and as the guy on the tv said, we were just witnessing history happen.  It was very moving to me when Michael Phelps said thank you, you could tell it was a very sincere thing to say.  That guy is just amazing and I know he has won people's respect, and not only americans', just look at what happened to me last night.
