Cheers to Michael Phelps. The 23-year-old broke Mark Spitz's 36-year record after Phelps secured eight gold medals at the Olympics. Spitz held the record at seven.
Now NBC has to find a new darling for its second week of coverage. Shouldn't be too hard, though.
Also, I felt for Paula Radcliffe of Great Britain during the Women's Marathon. Did you see the pained look on her face over the last few miles? (In her defense, I'd have had the same look, but after about the first two miles — never mind 26.) Proud of her for fighting to the end, though, especially since the British press raked her over the coals four years ago for quitting. You could read determination all over her face.
Check out this AP news video of Phelps' feat.
