Will the record of Mark Spitz be broken? email this discussion to a friend?

It is 2008 and the Olympics is just around the corner. This year it is being hosted in China and so much controversies have since occurred and I just hope that it will not any boycott to affect the Games. Reason?

I am actually hoping that the world record of 7 gold medals achieved by the one time great USA swimmer Mark Spitz in the uneventful '72 Munich Olympics would be broken. It has already been 36 years and as the records for the events are ever improving with each meet - it is this record which has stood till today. Will we be looking at another heroic achievement for this Games in Beijing, this year? What do you think? Do you think this feat will take place at this year's Olympics? Who do you think will break this record?

I watched some of the races that Mark Spitz competed in and it was a dominating performance. I doubt if that record will be broken at these Olympics as swimmers now tend to be a bit more specialised in their events.

It would be good to see another performance like the one Mark Spitz achieved. It would be the best individual performance by an athlete that I have seen.

No special swimsuits and a moustache to boot.

And just for the records all 7 of the gold medals awarded were accompanied with 7 world records. It is just one of the most extraordinary achievements in the history of Olympics so far.

There is a girl on here in training for the Olympics swimming
and she is a Yank so she will probably have a chance of a gold medal or 2.
She is also considering trying out for American Idol.
And she is a god person
Her name is Cher Bear 04
Look her up,

Sure would if she's a looker if you know what I mean. Since you are a fan of hers, just hope she wins a medal or 2 as the field this year is relatively strong and much more competitive - not forgetting the swimmers from Japan and our mainland China.

Maybe she should go all out for American Idol where she might stand a chance eh? What do you think? Better have a look at what is her timings from her recent events ya?
