The Beijing Olympics started at 8pm on 8/8/08 - because 8 is a lucky number in China. And tonight, Michael Phelps made history going 8 for 8 in his swimming events - setting a record that no modern Olympian has ever achieved before and may very well not achieve in the near future.
And he is a classy guy! I feel like I got to see a very significant event tonight that will become a legendary part of history. Of course, Phelps could not have achieved this amazing feat without his AWESOME teammates on the US Team. They deserve recognition and praise as well for their excellent swimming over the last week.
Congratulations Michael and Team USA!!!
