Michael Phelps

What a remarkable athlete, with eight Gold medals. Michael Phelps in this NBC interview I am watching now also seems to be a pretty grounded person. He talked about all of the sudden friends popping up now that he is somebody, all the kids who taunted his swimming years ago. And he mentioned how this inspired him and drove him forward. I hope a lot of kids heard those words, and they let him inspire them. I have not been as into the Olympics this year, but he's a guy worth rooting for.
