Michael Phelps makes lightning strike

I would imagine if Adriana Lima could swim, she would be pretty good. But not even she could match the excitement provided by Michael Phelps in these Beijing Olympcs. To win a seventh gold medal by .001 of a second? Are you kidding me? This internet site shows what can take place in various increments of time (proving again that you can find anything on the internet). It states that one-hundredth of a second is the length of time it takes for lightning to strike. So when Phelps won that gold, it was literally lightning striking. Trite, perhaps. But there are times when sports provides moments we all remember, when we see what the Olympics are about. This swim by Phelps was one of them. So, too, was the graciousness and class shown by Mark Spitz in the interview he and Phelps did on NBC. Just think … Phelps won in the strike of a lightning bolt.
