You have to be both insanely good and insanely lucky. Gratz to Phelps. (And with recognition to Lezak.) I wonder if his achievement will be met again in my lifetime. Let’s celebrate with some delicious Kyou. And now we can finally move forward with the rest of the Olympics.
(And here’s hoping that Phelps will enter competitive eating after he retires from swimming.)

Wouldn’t some Delicious Tomoyo be more fitting, given her sports skills? Mmm… Tomoyo…
@ Haesslich:
Technically yes, but Kyou is perfection incarnate, so there’s no problem here.
He’s gonna be fat as hell once he stops swimming!
I came to this site just to see what you would post Jason. Post seven more pics for the G.O.A.T., I demand it. What is the next sport everyone is looking forward to? I’m looking forward to beach volleyball and basketball.
12000 calories? Yikes. I agree with Kabitzin- it’s bad enough for football players that retire but don’t retire their eating habits, and I don’t think they come anywhere close to 12000 calories. But I have to admit, I’d watch Phelps in competitive eating. Preferably with a melodramatic entrance, like interrupting a match between Kobayashi and Joey Chestnut, staring down everyone coldly, then eating the hot dogs off their plates.
Actually, I would like to see competitive eaters forced to compete with food cooked by anime-style (in other words, terrible) chefs. They have that “you barf, you lose” rule…
I thought about writing 8 gold medal winning posts in celebration, but I have no clue how to do that when the only anime I’ve watched the last four days have been Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu, To Love Ru, Xamd, and Macross Frontier. Not exactly a lot to work with there.
Basketball. Two reasons: Redeem Team is just destroying everyone and is playing top notch basketball. Second, NBC is using the old NBA on NBC music for the games. Good times… excellently good times.
>> Actually, I would like to see competitive eaters forced to compete with food cooked by anime-style (in other words, terrible) chefs.
Hosaka! That’s something Hosaka and Phelps have in common: they’re both at their best when shirtless.
Having spent a year in Japan… I don’t think that rule is limited to the bad cooks… some of their food is pretty damn bad. I actually asked a few why they ate some of the stuff: “Bearing with it is the Japanese way. You eat it, and bear it. That’s all there is too it.”
it would be funny if phelps was a closet otaku and shows up at next year’s otakon, since he lives somewhere in baltimore.
alas, congrats to the greatest swimmer (perhaps olympian) of all time!
I just want 7 more pics! You gotta have 7 pics of anime girls in swimsuits somewhere on that hard drive. 3 of them have to have a team of 4 girls in them. You had a whole week to plan! :)
Also did you see Bolt run? The fool was so cocky that he started to celebrate before he finished the race!
I’ve been watching the Redeem Team games streamed. The biggest issue has been installing Silverlight. Why Microsoft thought they needed to make a Flash competitor without bringing anything new to the table is beyond me. Not having an announcer also really sucks. When you include a rather quiet crowd the is really quiet.
> “Also did you see Bolt run? The fool was so cocky that he started to celebrate before he finished the race!”
That was probably the most amusing moment I’ve seen so far in the Olympics. Bolt grabs the lead somewhere near to halfway mark, then around three-quarters done he basically stops running, spreads his hands as if saying, “Where did everyone go? Is this all the competition I’m gonna get? I left them standing behind! Look at me win, with style!” …and he still breaks the world record.
Also, I concur: seven more pictures!
Yea, not sure what amazed me more, Phelps or Bolt. Both left my jaw on the floor, seriously. Though, Bolt is more hit or miss where Phelps is the symbol of reliability.
Don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed a Olympic game as much as this one.
Also, I had no trouble getting Silverlight installed and I’m running Firefox. Watched the Archery and Cycling on streaming.
I don’t know who Phelps is. However, if his success means more pictures of beautiful women in swimsuits, then I want him to become king of the universe.
he’s friggin Aquaman is who Phelps is. dudes gonna swim back home when the games are done. On second thought Aquaman is lame maybe he’s Namor.
My brother’s friend from summer camp met Phelps at the airport. He asked Phelps for an autograph but he refused. So my brother has been constantly calling Phelps a jerk every time they mention him on TV. He’s 10 btw.
“Eat, sleep and swim. That’s all I can do,”
I demand to see competitive sleeping.
mmm… kyou… delicious…
>> Not having an announcer also really sucks.
I like having no announcers. Though it depends on the event– some get announcers when streamed, some do not. But I like the fact that there are no commercials. That trumps all.
>> He asked Phelps for an autograph but he refused.
I love these anecdotes because they make athletes seem like jerks. I’ve been to a lot of basketball, football, and baseball games. Very few athletes will sign crap for you unless it’s at a designated event or before/after a practice, even if you are a little kid.
(If you want a lot of NBA autographs, head down to Summer League.. but do not bug them outside of the Thomas Mack Center. And don’t go near KG.)
>> Yea, not sure what amazed me more, Phelps or Bolt
Bolt celebrating before the race was over was such an yahoo move. Now that’s poor sportsmanship. But that’s just one gold. Call back when you get the other seven.
I had to think about this one for a bit, but I think it’s doable. Competitors would sleep under a variety of hostile and stimulating conditions (e.g. trapped in gym storage shed with attractive person). You could measure their brainwaves to see if they were really asleep or just faking it. Nodding off early would be considered a false start.
You know who would be scarily good at it? Lelouche. He can even sleep with his eyes open. Although a geass-related screwup like “Stop sleeping” would be pretty harsh…
I didn’t see the race itself, but I did look up his finishing time. If he really did slow up, he cost himself a world record which would be damn hard to break. What a waste.
It’s official. Just as you said, Phelps is the Kogarashi of swimming. (well, as close as anyone can get to Kogarashi)
>>I didn’t see the race itself, but I did look up his finishing time. If he really did slow up, he cost himself a world record which would be damn hard to break. What a waste.
No, you got it all wrong. He slowed up and started celebrating and STILL blew the world record out of the water. It just so happened that the world record he smashed, was set by him earlier. He is a bit cocky, but that doesn’t really bother me. I guess, since I play FPS’s competitively, I’m use to people being assholes.
Phelps is also the Kamina/Simon of swimming. Doing the impossible possible. Really, I was pretty sure that his chances of winning that 100m butterfly were less than 0,0000001% right before finish, but then Phelps does this dimensional breakthrough and manages to slap that hand on the wall first. Incredible.
It’s not the showboating that bothers me. I just think at some point in the future, he’ll regret slowing down. The title of World’s Fastest Man will eventually get passed on to someone else. He says he only came to win, not to set a particular record, but if someone breaks that record in the future and pushes him a notch down the totem pole because he wasn’t trying as hard as he could’ve, I think he’ll be singing a different tune.
OOOOOrrrrr, he’ll forever be able to say to people that break his record, “Yeah yeah whatever, I wasn’t even TRYING” He’s setting himself up to have an excuse when somebody else does break the record.
I expected Phelps to show up at the last relay wearing a red cape and an ‘S’ tatooed on his chest. Then, in 30 years when some team breaks that world record, he can say, “Yeah yeah whatever, I wasn’t even trying.â€
Seriously, .01 seconds FTW. >.<
as always you guys are broken…. so I am
