The Traveller's Hero: An American in China

THE GREAT HAUL OF CHINA: The New Legend is Born...

Michael Phelps who just won 8th gold on August 17th 2008! After nine days of competing and finally made his dream come true, one Sports Illustrated editor said "He won all in heart, ability, and courage!" He had defeated so many odds and negative prediction that he wouldn't win 8 golds.

He's funny too. He just mentioned how his friends text messaged to him saying, "Dude, how many times I have to see your ugly face?" when Michael kept on winning gold medals. One of my favorite moments is when he won 200m butterfly.
