Phelps has been great...but it's getting a bit worn out, and I'm gradually getting tired of reading about 'record-breaking' and 'historic' Phelps. It's like I've been reading the same story every day for the last 8 days. The 1/100ths of a second win yesterday was the special one we'll remember. Let's have something fresh to read about here, eh?

The eight golds (if you include the relays) would put Phelps joint fourth in the overall medals table -- level with Australia and behind only China, the U.S. and Germany. Forgot to mention.
