History in the Making

Being here, I feel very fortunate to be witnessing one of the greatest athletic feats in history - not just Olympic history. Hopefully, those of you watching the Games from back home have had the chance to appreciate what Michael Phelps is doing.

After this morning, Phelps is up to five gold medals and five world records. He became the most decorated gold medalist in Olympic lore today, raising his career total to 11 and his overall medal count to 13. Three more gold medals could be on the way and the chance of winning eight gold and passing Mark Spitz's seven from Munich in 1972 is looking more likely.

As Phelps gets closer to history, take a minute and really appreciate what this 23-year-old is doing. We may never see anything like it again. He's dominating a sport like no one ever has - not on a diamond, court, field or course. He's like Moses. The water does what he says. Hope you can see that.
