E-I-G-H-T.
''Phelps earned his unprecedented eighth Olympic gold medal of the 2008 Olympics as he swam the butterfly leg of the Americans' world-record win in the 4x1OOm medley relay to close out the swimming competition at the Water Cube.''
MICHAEL PHELPS WON HIS 8TH GOLD IN THE 4X1OOM RELAY THIS MORNING :D
YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
''Aaron Peirsol led off in the backstroke leg, Brendan Hansen swam the breast and Lezak anchored, the same three who won gold in Athens. Phelps swam the prelims of that race in Athens, giving up his finals spot to Ian Crocker. The American men have never lost the medley relay in the history of the Olympics.''
''Phelps set world records in seven of his eight swims, with only the 100m fly mark not broken. He also won the 400m IM, the 200m IM and the 200m fly, breaking his own world mark in each, and led off the 4x200m free relay. ''

abit sad ah, he didnt broke the 1OOm butterfly world record. ah bo he got 8 gold medals with ALL world records timing. how cool.
