I kind of feel sorry for the guy. He will probably go down as the greatest Olympian ever and I just read that he will train for London in 2012 but what kind of life does he have? He swims for 5 hours every day then eats and sleeps. I read somewhere that he rarely socializes out and does not have a girlfriend. Mark Spitz said that in 1972 he put half the time in that Phelps does and was able to half a normal life. That said it has been an exciting week and I am sure Dick Ebersol at NBC is thrilled as is the rest of the country. In New York Phelps actually managed to get some top billing in spite of the Yanks,Mets,Giants and Favre. Very impressive CN.
