Quote:Phelps is built perfectly for swimming. He is double jointed which allows him to push his stroke through more radians, he is over 6 feet tall adding lots of kick power, his body shape is tear drop shaped making him more aqualine, and he has 14 inch <strike>flippers</strike> feet. And, he trains his butt off.How about the crew/rowing race?
I meandered through the living room and lucked on the eights, in the medal round, at the start. The Canadians got off to an excellent start, and never lost the lead. The Americans slowly crept back into it, an were hammer and tong with the Brits for the last 700 meters. Awesome race. Brits got the silver by slim margin.
Well done, lads, all of ye.
Canada: gold
Brit: silver
US: bronze
In an outstanding race.
