Phelps The Greatest Swimmer In History
You know the really strange thing about Michael Phelps? That he made his mark on history at a tennis venue. That's right, a tennis venue. You see, the pool for the 2007 FINA World Championships here in Melbourne is just a temporary, drop-in pool at Rod Laver Arena, better known as Centre Court at the Australian Open. I can safely say, as a former sportswriter and a onetime competitive swimmer, that I've never seen a performance as dominant as Phelps' destruction of his own world record in the 200m butterfly last night. Whether he wins eight gold medals here or not, this man will go down as the greatest swimmer in history. Now that's one big talent pool.

Kinda wish he wasn't from around this way, though.
Hi Bart,
Now you've got me intrigued. Why's that?
Cheers

Oh, because we get updates about everything he does.
Michael Phelps goes to a ball game, film at 11.
Michael Phelps drops a deuce, story at 11.
Etc.
the irony of this is he's only getting this much coverage because the 2008 olympics are approaching. he's making his mark in melbourne, and i'm not going to hate on him for doing something i can't.
