To sean, i think part of what you're saying is true, but theres a difference between say swimmers and people who are famous in the entertainment industry. If Micheal Phelps just wanted fame and money, he couldve done something else, he has to train on and off and race in races, so im sure its because he likes swimming and is good at it. And about the fame and fortune, i dont really think you could claim that that he asked for it. You're right: people did give it to him. Sure Mark Spitz did it without special pools and swimsuits and money, but how could he change that? Micheals not going to go up to the Olympics commitee in China and ask them to build a really standard basic pool. For the suits? Time has changed, and there have been new inventions. Micheal Phelps deserves what he got, because he is not the ONLY swimmer in the whole olympics who uses the new suits. So i guess it is everyones opinion.

wow you ppl are so blind.. and buy into media hype like no others. Altho he is obviously a good swimmer his attitude about it is shit. hes so smug and so arrogant that he thinks he CANT be beaten. Lets not forget that in two of those races he had 3 other ppl helping him achieve his goals.. and are they mentioned? are they "American heroes"? no.. they are nothing compared to "Golden boy Phelps" Lets also not forget that mark Spitz did it first, with out special suits, with out special pools and with out a 1 million dollar incentive he did it. I think its sick that you idolize someone whos only goal was to be famous and rich. you think he gives a shit about any of you? no he gives a shit about his bank account and "status" and you guys sure gave it to him.Which isn't surprising. you guys do it on a daily basis.

I am an artist who uses oils on canvas. It would be a honor to send Michael a print of one of my paintings of him in the pool doing the butterfly. It is a 2'X4' painting. The photo I used as a reference was taken during the last Olympics. It is a colorful and realistic painting. [Personal contact info deleted] Yours truly N.F. Carrillo

I an very proud and happy for Michael...... i bet he has his own struggles but somehow he found one thing he loved and is magnificent at it. For that i admire him and his life outside of the pool. If he was living next door to me.... i'd totally play around with him.... like when hes offguard. i'd pull his pants down..... haaa haa He seems like a humble guy that just like to chill and listen to rap...... When i saw him with his IPOD i just knew he was listenin to rap and i bet his fav artist is Kanye West. I salute you Michael... you are truly. an amazing person. I will meet you soon enough... i hope i don't cry..... If you ever feeling like a caribbean vacation..... come to St. Maarten...... Jenny

Hes a great swimmer but as far as saying hes hot or the best looking guy youve ever seen? You need to get out more. He looks like a monkey. He has an underbite, crooked teeth and he talks like he has a mouth full of marbles.

None writes: "role model?? ... caught driving under influence while being underage" Let's not get too holier than thou, shall we none?? ... the clue there might be in the last word of the sentence. Seriously, he wouldn't be the only young guy/girl to do something stupid, and he certainly won't be the last. I see it this way: most young people do stupid stuff, most don't get caught. That's generally a matter of good luck rather than good management. Most DO go on to become productive and responsibile members of the community (geez, I hate that term) But there aren't too many goody-two-shoes running around in the 15-21 age bracket. I'd say unequivocally that in his current role as an Olympic swimmer, he's most certainly a role model.

role model? caught driving under influence while being underage. Good swimmer: yes Good Person: don't take things at face value. I have friends who went to college with Michael. Not a lot of good words....

Great, I've just realised this is a post from the 2004 Athens Games. I've just given myself an uppercut. Always pays to look at dates, eh?

Ryan, seriously, how on Earth do you get Ian Thorpe being arrogant? He's pretty unassuming. Maybe we've been watching different people. As for arrogance and cockiness, well the feeling among other nations is that the US swim team always has it in spades. Maybe it's just the American character. The feeling in Australia is always, "Oh, it's just the Americans ... they can't help themselves". A classic example: one member of the American swim team, on arriving in Sydney for the 2000 games, declared the US would smash Australia "like guitars" in the 4x100m men's freestyle relay. History shows the US touched second and went home with the silver, while the Aussies grabbed the gold, and hilariously stood together playing air guitar immediately afterwards. "Smashed like guitars" has, of course, entered the Australian sporting lexicon, and we have one cocky American - Gary Hall Jr - to thank for what is now a treasured phrase in this country :) On a personal note, I think Michael Phelps deserves 8 gold medals at these games and I hope he gets them. He's a genius, and probably one of the best sportsmen ever - but I was stoked to see Eamon Sullivan lead him all the way in the first leg of the 100m relay (not Phelps' pet event) at the weekend.
