America’s super hero in swimming, Michael Phelps just made history by winning all 8 gold medals. Each 1 of them is special for the Yankee who broke the world record time in the 1^st round of the competition!

Mark Spitz’s record of 7 medals is now gone, after 36 years: it is Phelps time!

8 are what any athlete couldn’t reach in Beijing, while admitting that nothing is impossible.

The 23 year old idol was thrilled full of excitement, missing nothing and no one but his mother, as her pride in Michael, beyond doubt grew at the same time as he made his 8^th reward during the 4×100 meters medley relay.

Sports news and betting sites were making it look hard, coming clear those 8 medals is beyond reason and that it can’t be done; Phelps’s imagination helped him achieve the unpredictable blowing away all the odds.

USA’s talent in the Beijing’s Olympics earlier dominated the 400 individual medley, 4×100 freestyle relay, 200 freestyle, 200 butterfly, 4×200 freestyle relay, 200 individual medley and 100 butterfly en route towards being the world’s best swimmer ever.

Michael’s total number of medals is now 14, adding the 6 golden medals of Athens, keeping sports news and TV programmers to wonder about his speed secret. Investigations and analyzing went too far this time, talking about Phelps’s diet: a probable explanation and a secret weapon!

Personally, I think it wouldn’t take long before seeing Phelps advertising for nutritional products or sports equipment on TV.

The ultimate contestant just made it into the sports books and sports news, I would bet on him as the athlete of the year, and of the few years to come!

Women tennis finals are postponed, due to weather inconvenience. The last game will be played on Sunday 17^th of August 2008, along with the men final game.

Swedish wrestler teaches democracy in China, by giving up his bronze in protest!

In a continuing phase of argumentation about the scoring techniques and logic, in various games of Beijing’s Olympics, China is about to feel insecure about the good will, and the fair play that should be every Olympics slogan!

As objections started in boxing, and specifically in games where Chinese contestants were about to play, live on-site crowds, and TV viewers all heard the yelling echoes of roaring coaches, and have all seen the eyes of blown players, shocked  and stunned by the results.

Some said that the counting is unreasonable, despite the fact that we deserve to lose. Our opponent was fine in the ring, but we weren’t that bad. We’re exaggeratedly out-numbered in scores.

Swedish wrestler Ara Abrahamian, eliminated by Italy’s Andrea Minguzzi (the potential and favorite bet to win the gold medal in the Olympic Games) was furious about the decree, giving the Italian a PASS towards the finals, and couldn’t help yelling at the ref. and facing up to judges.

Abrahamian’s coach said that it is all about politics, making it clear once again that the games are unfairly umpired.

Later on during the celebration ceremony, Sweden’s bronze medalist took off the decoration, leaving it in the middle of the mat, in a very democratic protest and disapproval.

Watch why Swedish wrestler throws away bronze medal:

As for others, they didn’t get enough with a simple interview on sports news, but made it out of the irrational event of scoring, a formal and official declaration. Unfortunately, they were all denied and returned, giving the judges all the authority to watch, calculate and decide to whom the triumph belongs.

Away from boxing, other collective games are being criticized on the referee’s level, such as Germany’s basketball team whom few players openly said: “bring better refs”, after suffering from non-whistled fouls during their last game.

Luckily for the crowded games such as basketball, football, etc, umpiring is way more respected and valued.

Back to the individuals’ sports, wrestling and boxing coaches in particular acknowledged that counting was in favor of the Chinese players when involved, and is being unreasonable in other cases.

Annihilated Latvia- Arrogant Aussies

Opals ladies were looking so confident, being the world champions.

Earlier today, as they ended up destroying Latvia, 96-73, a clear subliminal message was sent for the American team, that the days of fighting on the 2^nd place is over, we are also here to win.

Lauren Jackson took charge of the task, making 5 out of 9 shots from the 3 points lane and setting a new tournament record of 30 points.

After trailing in the 1^st half, Kangaroos joined hands spinning into 33 points of leadership, which itself is a characteristic of every female player in the green and yellow basketball jerseys.

Winner Australia will next play Russia for the group leadership.

From Latvia’s side, despite hitting 6 out of 11 long range shots, they are left for an urgent win against Korea in order to keep up with qualification train of Beijing.

Odds of joining the final 8, is too soon to predict. It’s all up to their determination and preparation. Aussie girls are leading the count in betting sites, and are backed up by a huge campaign of encouragement and FAN-tastic supporters from both genders.
