Michael Phelps: 2 Golds Down, 6 To Go

August 11, 2008

Michael Phelps knew going into the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, that all eyes would be on him to set the record and win 8 gold medals.

So far, he’s living up to that pressure. Last night, the 4 x 100 relay proved to be a very close race between the French and the American team and the U.S. not only took him first place, they also set a world record and beat the French by a mere 8-hundredths of a second.

Phelps has a grueling schedule and will hopefully leave Beijing with 8 gold medals in his possession.
