Go Phelps!
Hope he ties the record.

My goodness! Phelps is like a fish! I hope he gets his 8th gold (I think he has gotten 7 so far)

I missed Phelps's recent event, but I saw Adlington from UK doing the 800m freestyle final. Man was she crazy!! She was like way ahead of the other swimmers! :o

Which leads to the question, "human, fish, or amphibian?". ;)

Oh cool, rowing is on...New Zealand's in the lead!

Ok, the only thing different about the suits is that they use ultrasonic stiching: there are no actual 'stitches' in the traditional sense for water to drag them down.
That and I do believe they are tailored to the swimmer.

The IOC accepts it.
Other countries have the ability to do the same.

Not cheating. We're just good. =P

Before his eighth event, iif he were his own country, Phelps would be in fourth.

Er...actually, that was like somewhere in the middle of the event (I forgot what rowing event it was though.) >.<

France just won a gold medal in a fencing event! (Although I didn't see what event it was either, I just turned my TV on when they announced France as the winner.)

Edit: Watching the gold medal match of the 3000m women's individual pursuit...oh dang, it's just Great Britain competing. :P
