Abstract
BY now, practically everyone would know who is referred to as the "Flying Fish". He is none other than Michael
Phelps, the 23yearold
wondersportsman
of the Beijing Olympics. He has won eight gold medals in a single
Olympics, the most in modern times.
On top of that, he has broken at least seven world records. In one of the events, he scrapped by the slimmest
of margins, 0.01 of a second to be exact, to beat his nearest opponent and clinch the 100metre
butterfly.
Such are the memories of what seems to be the world's most glamorous Olympics thus far.
Another unforgettable memory perhaps is when a top sprinter another favourite at the Games, sadly missed his
opportunity by a mere 0.02 of a second.
