... to the most amazing swimmer ever, Michael Phelps! What he's achieved in the last 8 days is not only the most incredible achievement, but the man has proven he's grown into a young man his mother can be very proud. We're fortunate in that our poolside presenter is a former swimmer and knows Michael personally, so he was able to talk with him as an 'equal' rather than a media presenter.
My sympathies go to Ryan Lochtie who has been born at the wrong time - a fantastic swimmer also, but living in the shadow of the might that is Michael.
