Michael Phleps

Michael Phelps won more gold medals then any Olympic athlete in history! Pretty amazing considering he even broke a couple of world records along the way. Watch out Aquaman!

Yao Ming and Lin Hao

One touching moment at the Olympic opening was Yao Ming holding a little boy, Lin Hao (9 yrs old) in his arm to watch the fireworks. The boy was a survior of the major quake in southwest China's Sichuan province on May 12. He risked his life to go into his collapsed school and rescued 2 of his classmates. Part of his hair is missing... probably where the medic put the IV during his recovery.

Olympic 2008

Did you see the opening ceremony last night? Holy cow... it was incredible! The drums, letter boxes, thousands of Tai Chi masters,... etc. It was the best Olympic Opening I've seen. Out of all the performers, I thought the cheerleaders worked the hardest at the show. They danced and clapped their hands (non stop) for more then an hour as all the athletes walked into the stadium. They have one water bottle strap to their side... and I didn't see one person using it. Good job, ladies!
