Why do Michael Phelps won so much gold in the Beijing Olympics?

Question

He won seven gold................ He can't train for 24 hours............. It is suspicious............

Answer 1

Intense training before the olympics + lots of determination + fit physique + LZR suit + his amazing relay teammates

Answer 2

Yes he is good, but did win them on his own. The team ones do not count. He did not win them individually. Also are you saying that he won almost half your gold medals as well. Lucky guy!  

Answer 3

He won 8, if you counted 7 only because of the Phelps vs Cavic swim watch this

Answer 4

becasue he is so good. He can do every stroke. Eamen Sullivan can beet him in one thing. That is hotness

Answer 5

He has been training since he was a child.  He also has a long lithe body and long feet. That helps him move in the water faster than most.  There is no underhanded dealings.

Answer 6

It's not suspicious, it's good training. You should read some articles on what he does to train. He eats about 8000 calories a day. The regular calorie intake is like 2500. He pushes himself mentally and physically. He strives to win and be the best. He's physically, mentally, and emotionally fit. Not to mention he has a kick-*** trainer that trains him intensely. He loves to swim and has a passion for it. He wants to win. He also has the perfect body of a swimmer. There are so many things.

And why can't he just be perceived as a REALLY GOOD SWIMMER without being suspicious?

But, hey, we're all entitled to our opinion.

Answer 8
