Ian thorpe said that:"I think Michael phelps can't achieve 8 golds in the Olympics,'cause there are some great swimmers in Beijing olympics as well, i think that he will win 4 or 5 golds, but if you ask me who is able to achieve 8 golds in a Olympics,the one should be Michael phelps. it's hard for him, but not impossible."

Yes.

Yes! I love him so so so much! He is awesome swimmer!
-girl from at&t phelps commercials
The only events he doesn't have control over, are the relays
But your USA men's swimming team won the 4x100 relay already~
Which they were a fingertip away from losing, and the 4x200 is tomorrow
Yes, yes he will!
I'm rooting for him. He's tied now for the most Golds in a career. I'd love to see him get the 8. He's incredible, he's brought a lot to the sport. And he's something to watch in the water.
Yes, the dude is a fish, he will win 8 golds!
He has a diet that is a anywhere from 8-10 THOUSAND calories a day!
Being a fat guy, I admire that most of all!
The man could out-Spitz Mark Spitz...
8 golds and 8 WRs?
I find it hard to believe, because it's such an incredibly difficult thing to achieve. So many things can happen that could prevent it and make him win like "only" 7.
But from what I have seen I have to say the guy is a monster in the water. He does what he does with incredible ease.
I do admit that if anybody can do it he can - I'll be rooting for him do achieve it despite my skepticism.
I say he will lose the next relay and one individual event......Im saying 6. I could be wrong though.
He is unstopable
the crazy thing is on his individual events the finals haven't even been close - on his final last night in the freestyle he broke his own world record and is now over a full second faster than anybody else has ever been. Just unbelieveable.
I think it all comes down to stamina - if he was just swimming it would be one thing; but as we saw last night it's swimming, medals ceremonies, interviews, distractions, and then swimming again. But I wouldn't bet against him.
They said that the 1st 2 events were going to be the toughest.
So it's going to come down to the wire.
The guy is a freak of nature
Thorpedo's just another hater.
Phelps is not human. What he does in the water defies the physical limits of the Human body.
I believe he can do it!
The Thorpedo is just jealous of Aquaman.
That Condor Swing he does before each race is ridiculous. He can literally clap behind his back haha.
I wonder if Duncan would have gotten to this Olympic level.
He's already won the gold in the only 2 races he didn't win in the last Olympics.
He's also already won the race that kept him from tying Mark Spitz in the last Olympics.
Still...I think he's going to be tired by the time some of those last races come up.
Too bad he's talking about reting after this...if he came back in 2012 he'd be in what is generally considered his athletic prime...
He's already tied the marks for medals in a signle olympics, career gold medals, probably getting close to total medals...and he's going to win some more medals in these Olympics...imagine if he came back and won another buttload of medals.
To me it's not even a question. Duncan is a Champion. His work ethic is incredible. That inner burn to be the best was in him then. He was already on the radar when he gave up swimming. I think he would have been a Gold Medal contender if he had stayed with it. Would he be on Phelps' level? Hard to say. But imo he would have been an Olympian.
Hey,,,,,,,,dudes
Michael Phelps is learning Mandarin
i think he speaks not bad~
the pronunciation is standard~
Come on D228... We are all Duncan fans but there is no WAY he would be a gold medal contender, let alone anywhere near the level Phelps is on.To me it's not even a question. Duncan is a Champion.

Duncan was a damn good swimmer.... but Olympic caliber swimmer? I think not.
