Video of Phelps breaking the WR

Thats amazing he absolutly crushed it.  I had a buddy of mine that I grew up with since Kindergarden swim with him when they were little kids.  He said he was good but definately gave him a run for his money.  Kinda funny years later he ends up getting his DUI and driving situation down at the school I go to (Salisbury).  Glad to see America take it back.

That is so COOL! 

He has such an amazingly easygoing-looking stroke. And he stays underwater soooo long after the turns. Incredible.

I'd love to see the video of his 200m fly final, where he absolutely DESTROYED the WR by 1.7 seconds. 1.7 seconds!!!

Aaaaaand here it is:

I know! It's one thing to be that far ahead of the pack (which he was, and then some--three seconds!!!) but ahead of the WR line? Insane!

Amazing...that is more than 2 times as fast as I swim...what a terrific athlete!!  Natalie Coughlin broke a record, too, right?
