"Thoughts are free and subject to no rule. On them rests the freedom of man, and they tower above the light of nature...create a new heaven, a new firmament, a new source of energy from which new arts flow."

Phelpsomania

Phelps needs no introduction.He is not only the greatest swimmer but the greatest Olympians of all times. His winning streak of eight gold medals was a treat to watch and got me hooked to the TV set no matter what. He not only won all of his races but broke world records ex pet in 100m butterfly, his best event where he broke the Olympic record, but still he was unstoppable.
Irony is that he was diagnosed with ADHD at an early age and that's when he started swimming and learned to stay focus.His motto for the Olympics was eat, sleep and race. One can only achieve such a fate if they stay focused on their goal and nobody can even think that he had ADHD. I hope he continues in the same style in 2012 but still it's too early to predict. For now lets enjoy the Olympics 2008
