Wow. All I can say is that I've had one of the most amazing Olympic viewership experiences ever while watching Michael Phelps swim this year. I'm just hanging off the edge of my seat, practically yelling and cheering at the TV, and I am so excited that he won all the medals he's been aiming for. I am very impressed. What impressed me most was yesterday's (or I guess, it was two day's ago) 100m butterfly. My heart was about to explode watching Cavic come in for the win, but Michael's hands totally struck the wall first and so he got his 7th gold medal. No matter how one looks at it, he definitely won that race.
The 4 x 100 relay today was lots of fun to see too. Aaron Piersol was great with the backstroke, but then the guy who did breast stroke kind of disappointed me. Of course, it's not exactly easy to go fast on breast stroke at times so I can't really blame him... but I wish he was faster =_=; I think I saw himget out of sync with his stroke at one point during the relay and I was just freaking out then. Michael isn't exactly a sprinter so I was pretty worried, but he did make up for some lost ground during the butterfly so I was pretty happy with that. And then Jason Lezak was just amazing. There's like this phrase they use now "Pull a Jason Lezak" for everytime people are behind and they manage to catch up miraculously and Jason was just amazing. I'm so stoked that U.S. men won the 4 x 100 relay ^_^ and so happy that Michael made Olympic history with his 8 for 8 gold medal record ^_^ It's been so much fun~
Now I've got track and more gymnastics to watch for the rest of the Olympics season. I can't wait to see Galen Rupp and Andrew Wheating run. I hope they do well and make us Ducks proud ^_^ Even if they don't do so well, we're still proud of them.
