The Human Dolphin Michael Phelps wins his 7th gold model of the 2008 Olympics games with a win in the 100-meter butterfly on Friday in Beijing, China.
Although Phelps, 23, has been used to winning by substantial margins, he proved he could win the tough race by eclipsing Milorad Cavic of Serbia by 0.01 seconds! Phelps finished the race in 50.58 seconds and for the first time, didn’t set a new world record.
American Ian Crocker, who is the current world record-holder, finished off the medal stand in fourth place.
Phelps now only needs a gold in his final 4×100 medley relay on Saturday night to win a record eight gold medals in one Olympics. He will surpass Mark Spitz, who initially set the record at 7 gold medals.
Is Michael Phelps a Christian?
Is wondered that also. I never heard him thank God your his victories.
Maybe is the kind of persons that God uses at the end but i´ve been cheecking on the internet and it says nothing..if someboby know please let me know as weel¡¡¡
Christian? Not sure. His swim website shows that he had “No answer” for Religion. I hope he is, as I hope everyone in the world will be someday.
apparently is jewish
Michael Phelps close victories to achieve his acquiring of 8 gold medals was miraculous. It leaves me wondering if it was with God’s blessing that he achieved this feat. It it was, I never did see him thanking God Almighty!
Perhaps Michael is just a reserved person who doesn’t want people to know his personal business. It seems so with his love life. I am hoping also that he is a Christian. Our young people need a good hero to look up to.
