Summary:
Micheal Phelps is the only competior to win 8 gold medals at any single olympic game. His mother Debbie Phelps and two sisters Hilary and Whitney Phelps were all in Beijing to cheer on and support Micheal in winning his 8 gold medals. Since the Olympics started Micheals family as not seen much of him but as seen on t.v. and through reading articles the Phelps family is exteremly close. Ever since Micheal started swimming he was extremely compeditive. Now since Micheal has won his 8 gold medals he will be returning home to Baltimore, Maryland. When Micheal returns home he will be greeted by his swim club which he has been a long time member of.
Opinion:
I think this is really exticiting how Micheal won 8 gold medals in a single Olympic game. I also think having the support from his family really helped him on achiving his dream. When reading this article I wonder how someone trains and get ready for such a big event. My concern for Micheal is that many people may be jealous of him and try to ruin or hurt him by making up false rumors. I do believe that Micheal is gifted and as a long furture ahead of him and that things will only get better for him.
