Michael Phelps begins his quest to break Mark Spitz' record, and obtain 8 Olympic gold medals. So far, so good.
Not surprisingly, Michael Phelps has been awarded his first gold medal, in the 400m individual medley--and he set a new world record in the process:The 19-year-old Phelps, who holds the world record in the 400m IM along with two other events, led the whole race and spent the final 350m below world-record pace.…

I really don't know know what to say about him..because I don't want to be another girl to say: Michael Phelps is hot!!! I'm from Brasil, and even I be mad every time I see him win the brasilians guys..I admit that I admire him. And I hope to see him in the Pan Olympics in Rio in 2 years.
32 - Veronica
hey girls after i've read all your comments i'm sorry to say, but, i am michael phelps' girlfriend. you can find me with him in some pictures on fansites. so will you please stop obsessing over him and stop asking if he has a girlfriend?
33 - gwen
Michael is fairly good looking. i live in michigan and he is moving in right in my area, he's coming here because he has a new coach that works at western michigan university. I hope to meet him and chances are i will, i visite WMU often. He's truly amazing! He's beautiful in every aspect of life, and a great role modle. i look up to him because he's wounderful and strong,(and tall). *WE LOVE YOU MICHAEL*

Hey. The "Michael Phelps" on this site, is obviously not Michael Phelps...so I think that person needs their head examined..as well as his "girlfriend" on this site. I also live in Michigan..I think Michael will love it here...I mean...he's a swimmer, and we have AMAZING lakes. Anyway, I think Michael has the "boy next door" look. What a cutie. I e-mailed him and asked if he was single, and if he needed a tour guide. LOL...but I think he is sorta busy right now...something to do with Olympic races or something. :-P Anyway...girls, you have a much better chance getting with someone who ISNT in the limelight. Go outside...get some air..go hang out with friends. He isnt revolving his life around YOU, so you probably shouldnt center your life around HIS. And fellas, just because we think he is cute and we wouldnt mind getting to know him, doesnt mean were after his money. We like that he is humble..and that he isnt a lazy bum who drinks beer all day and has no goals. He is making the most out of his life, setting goals and achieving them. He is out there making a name for himself.. and his humble and welcoming personality is, what I think, attracts us all to him. So maybe if all you boys got up off your butts and did something with yourselves, we wouldnt mind getting to know YOU either. *steps off soap box* Ok, later.

Girls, even is he doesn't have a girlfriend he wouldn't date one of you anyway, he wants a down to earth girl not one that is completely obsessed with him. Yea he does things with the boys and girls club in Maryland and everything but he doesn't talking about his relationship status at all so really only people who know him know if he is single or not. Yea I love him and think hes an awesome swimmer but I'm not going to obsess over someone I will probably never meet
36 - Katherine
Adding on to his "girlfriends" you rarely even see a girl in his galleries, and even when you do you can tell its not his grilfriend because they way he is standing so I think you need to stop obsessing and grow up. Leave to poor guy alone
37 - Michelle
Micheal Phelps is hot but not in your conventional way. In fact his face is really geeky, but he does have the most beautiful body (and i shouldnt be saying this coz im an aussie) but I'm SOO glad he won his medals, coz Ian thorpe is SUCH a gay loser. I hope Michael can teach Ian a few tricks or 2 on how to be humble.
38 - Michelle
Omg i cant believe I just put down an Australian swimmer. This Micheal Mania is really getting to me. I take it back..IAN THORPE rocks ( he doesnt really...i cant lie....michael really is much better) damn it, why cant any of the australian swimmers be hot.
39 - Samantha
Does anyone on here know what Michael Phelps' e-mail address is? if u do could u plz e-mail me [personal contact info deleted] i m one of his biggest fans thanks
~*~Samantha- Michael Phelps #1 Fan~*~
40 - Katherine
Im sorry everyone but he is not going to give out his e-mail address, as it is he probably has tons of little girl fans obsessing over him. He is a nice guy and all but he wants his privicy too, so could you all please quit asking for his email cause your not going to get it
41 - Megan

43 - Jacqui
you ppl r so stupid i'm positive that mike has better things 2 do than swim in your pools i mean come on he has training and all that.
44 - elizabeth
hey ya'll, i agree with everyone when you say that michael phelps is hott, but there is alot more to him than his looks. he is obviously an awsome swimmer and he is one of the main reasons that i watched the olympics because i want to see him suceed, but when you think about it, don't you think he would appreciate being treated and talked about like a real person and not and idol once in a while? just a thought. but in conclusion, go for the gold, michael and good luck with everything!!!
45 - Eric Olsen
I hear Michael Phelps will have a role in Pirates of the Caribbean 3
BTW, Ian Thorpe has really big feet.

47 - Duane
With all this attention on Michael Phelps, I'm pretty sure that Johnny Depp has lowered his asking price to come over and swim in my pool. I think he'll do it for $49.95. Phelps is still asking for $75.00.
48 - ungaro
After this olympics, Michael will enrol in the University of Michigan...anyone from this Uni???
49 - Eric Olsen
they swim fast up there because they've got wolverines in the pool

"Away from the Olympics I've got a pretty quiet life. It's kinda boring. I haven't got a girlfriend and I can't do the kind of things all my friends are doing as college students. I swim, listen to hip hop and work on my car. But, in my opinion, that's still a pretty good life. I don't know whether I'd want to trade it for anything" mike said that...so he doesnt have a girlfriend...but for everyone else...my cousin used to/does swim at the same pool with him and i met him when he was like 13 apparently and didnt think too much of it...he wasnt too hot then though because...he hadn't grown into his ears...i might try to meet him when he comes back
53 - Why God why..
ALL of you are PSYCHOTIC. STOP.

Michael Phelps is such a great swimmer and he is a role model for me. i am going to be a freshman in high school and have been swimming since kindergarten. he showed me that i can do whatever i want and my dream to someday become an olympian is not impossible thank you Michael Phelps for your spirit and your passion for swimming!!!!!
55 - Becky
I think Michael Phelps is one of the hottest guys I have ever seen swim. And all of the people who are calling him a retarded swimmer. I think that you should look in the mirror and see who is the real retarted person is. Michael is so athletic and so hot!!! I love him and I would let him swim in my backyard any day of the year.
56 - Katie
Michael Phelps is so passionate about what he does it isn't even funny!!!!! And he is so hot. He loves swimming and is showing the world more than one step at a time who is the bosss and champ of the water. Thank you Michael Phelps for being so good at what you do.
57 - Lauren
Michael is a sweet guy and I just want to congratulate him on all of his Olympic sucess. Good luck in your coming years and at the 2008 Olympics in Bejing!
58 - Michael Phelps

one of my friends from maryland told me this and i don't kno if this is true, but i hear that michael phelp's email address in AceSwimmer85@yahoo.com (one that he actually checks and uses)
60 - Swimmer Fan
OMG!!! Who ever said Michael Phelps is retarted is out of their mind. Your just jelious because you can't swim or even look like he does. I seriously have ever magazine he has ever been in. Michael, if your reading this I LOVE YOU!!!! You are amazing. And if anyone has a problem with that they can email me [personal contact info deleted]. See ya!!
61 - Tara Taylor
Michael is AWESOME!!! I swam USS for a really long time but lost the love for the sport when I had some difficulties with a coach. Watching Michael swim has encouraged to put me fast skin back on and hop in the pool! Michael if you're reading this, thank you so much! And who knows...maybe I'll see you in 2008! Lots of Love!
62 - Michael
Hey Everyone! i really appericate everyones praise and glory for my medals in the 2004 olympics. I just want to say hi to Swimmer Fan because I have met her before. But I ask you "swimmer Fan" please don't give anyone my real email address. Ok? Thanks to everyone. Bye!
63 - Lauren
I just have a question for Michael. You said you have a girlfriend named Becky Paulsen and that you're getting married in January, and that's cool, congrats. My question is, if that's true, then, why get married at 19 and not wait until you're a little older to make such a huge commitement as marriage?
64 - elen
... why oh why does he have to be 6'4"?... *sobbing*

People you all need to chill it. Michael Phelps is a great swimmer and a great person, but you can't love him until you meet him and get to know him. And yes I do like Michael Phelps and I did watch the Olympics because of him, but there is a fine line between liking someone and obsession. And I hate to say it, but you all are obsessed. Like someone said earlier, get back down to earth!!

71 - QWERTY
WOW.
You people really need to :#1 learn how to spell(or at least how to use spellcheck), #2 get a life, #3 stop being so gullible, and #4 leave the guy alone.
He does look a little off. He almost speaks with a lisp.
72 - Bri
OMG! Michael Phelps is the hottest man on the earth!! He COULD come and swim in my pool...if I had a pool. I love it when he smiles...its soo cute. and his ears are adorable. have you ever noticed that??!! :) :) :) :)

"I be done seen 'bout everything, when I see an ..."
74 - Melissa
Despite his good looks and 'hottness,' I'm sure there is more to Michael Phelps than just the obvious. I wish more people would be intrested in who he is rather than how he looks.
75 - Kis
I would not pay a guy I like to swim with me, I like Michael ,and girls, have some attiude!I mean, be yourself and Michael might just love the way you are.
