I totally loved the MSNBC headline of Michael Phelps and how he won his 8th Gold Medal at the Olympics. How fun watching all the wins, especially number 7 when the INSTANT he took the lead — he also won the competition.
Hearing how he was picked on in school while growing up sure helps us identify the whole “rags to riches” story he is living. Now his name has been spoken by like a BILLION people.
Congratulations, Michael! I like your style 😉

Michael Phelps is, without a doubt, the face of his sport just like Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky, Muhammad Ali, Brett Favre, Roger Federer and Babe Ruth. However, for all that he accomplished in this years Olympic games, I still don’t think he ranks in the top 5 of all-time Olympians.
Here is my TOP 5 All-Time Olympians:

Yes, what an uplifting story… heartwarming. This whole family is special for their support of him and helping make his dreams possible. Glory to God for the gifts he has given to Michael.
