PHELPS MAGIC

Well it is said that he is the greatest olympian of the modern era. What he accomplished in Beijing last August was and is really remarkable. He made his dreams into reality and only a few people can do that. He set his goals so high that a lot of people doubted him. Michael Phelps is someone special. He has purity, innocence and naivete in him. Eight golds in one olympic game, can anyone top that? Maybe after 50 years, a new athlete can beat his record. Well, Phelps did it after 36 years, he beat Mark Spitz's record and remove him in the books.

I know it is not an impossible feat to conquer but whoever will be tasked to beat Phelps' record will really have difficulty and will really have to be extremely great on his or her sport for him or her to be at par with Phelps' accomplishments.


Every country now, especially the first world countries are looking for their own Phelps. Extensively training a new breed of young athletes to bring home more golds in their home countries. I am only hoping that this new breed of athletes will be good role models for the youth, not just to excel in their fields of sport but to be important contributors financially, emotionally and spiritually to the society. Let us all spread the Phelps Magic. Whoever has the wand please start spreading.
