History was made at 8.28 am IST, 17/08/08. The Pool Shark has done it. And thank God, like fortunate millions all over the world, I saw it happening, history being made, an extraordinary sportsman accomplishing an extraordinary feat..... Or is it a giant leap, that will stand for a long long time to come.
8 golds with 7 new world record timings, 14 career gold medals.............IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING, for this man, Phelps. What he has accomplished is really a super human effort. There's been a lot of talk about his physical prowess, but I strongly believe, having exceptional talent alone isn't just good enough, surely it isn't the only attribute for rewriting history books.It is also about what goes inside the mind. Phelps performance is of God like proportions. His name will go down in the annals of Swimming history as the greatest of all time and his golden patch at Beijing will become a case study for all the young and budding swimmers around the world.
