I can't believe how much Phelps has left in his fuel tank after all the swimming he's done and all the world records he has set. Its not just the medal races, he has to swim all the qualifiers too, something like 17 different events in a little more than a week's time. Setting the world record in ONE event is something that would exhaust most men. The guy's a machine. |
Oh good, this is about the swimmer dude. I hoped it wasn't going to be about that idiot "preacher" from Wichita.  Phelp's daily caloric intake was something like 12,000! Apparently his breakfast was usually something along the lines of: 5 fried egg sandwiches, pancakes & syrup, grits, sausage, scrambled eggs and so forth. He said if he eats any less he loses weight. My God, all the man does all the waking day is eat, poop & swim! The last time I ate like that, Shoney's still had their all-you-can-eat breakfast bar open, and I went home and slept until after noon.

Fred Phelps is from Topeka (not Wichita) and is as far as I know no relation to Michael Phelps the Olympic Swimmer who will turn into a blimp once his metabolism slows! How about the other Swimmer on the team Eric Shanteau Yeah he's not a record breaker but he is playing while under a bit of stress, Cancer. Testicular Cancer. He is looking to have surgery immediately upon returning home. He didn't want to let the team down and miss his olympic chance. I can tell you from experience how much stress cancer puts you under, worrying about what may happen to you. |
While the silly Americans and Chinese play with their shiny medals, the Russians are playing an older game than the Olympics in Georgia.
