...blown away by the opening night at the Olympics. I feel sorry for the next country to hold the Olympics. As a contrast though I am some what upset over the pressure being put on Michael Phelps to win 8 gold metals. The guy is probably one of the best swimmers that we've sent to the Olympics, but to keep harping on winning so many gold metals in not doing him any favors.

The only hope is that he is not putting the pressure on himself to "win 8". As long as he has the right attitude*, things will be fine.


*That is, do your best, and be satisfied with a good performance.

When we won did you see how excited Michael became as he watched the final swimmer for the US come in on the wall for the relay. What an exciting moment!
