The Golden Boy Wins First Gold - Sets Another New Record!

Filed under: Zportz > Michael Phelps

Michael Phelps won his first medal of the Olympic Games on Sunday in Beijing.

And, of course, it was Gold!

The U.S. swimmer smashed his own world record, comfortably winning the 400 metres individual medley gold medal in four minutes 03.84 seconds.

This is the first of a potential record-breaking eight gold medals at the Olympics for Phelps.

It was Phelps's seventh career Olympic gold medal and ninth overall as he chases down Mark Spitz's 36-year-old record of seven golds at one Games.

Let's hope he does it all!

He's already made history today.

      I hope he does NOT win them all, Dutch top swimmer Pieter Van Den Hoogeband also needs to win at least one gold medal! He's awesome and dutch, so woohoo to him! The dutch women already beat out the competition earlier today and won gold on the 4×100m, WOOHOO to them too!

      Re: Jane Doe – That was Louganis (can't recall his first name…I think it was Greg), who knocked himself silly, and bled into the pool…before he let it be known, to the public, that he was gay and HIV, or AIDS, positive.

      In my fantasy life Michael Phelps is my pool boy,
      Madonna is my personal trainer,
      Michael Kors is my stylist,
      and Perez is my catty bff that I gossip about other people to on my blackberry.

      Re: DIJordan – You are so right!!!
      Thanks!- It was Greg Louganis who bled in the Pool. He tested positive for the AIDS virus six months before the 1988 Games in Seoul.

      Re: rannon89 – I have to admit…Stephanie Rice swam a phenomenal race….not only winning the gold, but beating the old record. I am very happy for her!

      I'm pretty sure that a fencing chick won the first gold medal…but whatever.

      Re: OldandUgly – Yes she did, I am trying to remember her name…I think it was Mariel or Muriel (can't recall the last name). She won the gold, and the silver and bronze was also awarded to the US in fencing. It was a perfect trifecta. lol
