Michael Phelps ties Mark Spitz's record

Phelps is an amazing athlete and now stands at 7 golds. I have been impressed with his skill dedication and maturity with the press. I wish him well tomorrow for #8

I was setting o n the edge of my seat watching that race. I am real glad the Michael won this race. His Mom seemed to be in disbelief as the cambers were on her. It was a very close race. If it wasn't for the tecknowldgy I think the race would have been considered a tie. I'm rooting for him to wim the next one too.

Yes that is amazing, a long time, and congratulations to the person who has equalled the record, i hope he can break it that would be a wonderful achievemnet..that should make him a very rich man i would say...

I watched that tonight with my son. When Phelps won the race my son was yelling and cheering like he was watching a touchdown for a football game. I'm glad that Phelps won. He's from my home town and the last time that he won the gold medals we gave him a big parade. I just wonder if the hometown can top what this did the last time. DCMerkle
