He Finally Failed????

Filed under: Zportz > Michael Phelps

michaelp__opt11.jpg

Warning: Spoilers ahead.

Repeat, spoilers ahead!

It was bound to happen - Michael Phelps did it.

He TIED Mark Spitz's record of most gold medals won in one Olympic Games!!!

The U.S. swimmer took home his 7th gold in Beijing on Saturday in the 100-meter butterfly.

But, it was very very close.

Phelps clocked 1/100ths of a second faster (50.58) than his foe, Milorad Cavic of Serbia.

Now, Phelps has the opportunity to break history as he goes for his 8th gold medal.

Think he can do it???

Hell yeah!!!

    Re: boo radley – actually it's not like basketball at all, being a completely different sport. the difference in 1st and 2nd was so small, 1/100th of a second, or a FINGERNAIL in length as they stated on tv. cavic was there first, it was unfair. but of course if he calls it out everyone looks at him as a sore loser for trying to ruin michael phelps' dream.

    and yes it's true, ryan lochte is a better all around swimmer than phelps.



  2. 102

    Congrats Phelps!!
    Just keep your mouth closed or do something with those nasty teeth. You can't even speak correctly.
    Anyway, hope he wins the 8th.



  3. 103

    I know somebody that used to fuck him during and after the last olympics. They fucked for like, a year, every time he rolled into Manhattan. He deserves a good fuck and if he has any problems getting it after these games, he can call me whenever he rolls into Ventura County.

    …lets hope

    Re: Xtina Applehate – ha i was exaggerating a little. i know they're very. very different sports and hardly comparable. i'm just saying the race is done. it's over and the winner won. i don't blame cavic for protesting because it was insanely close. cavic was reaching first but phelps took the extra stoke and thats the difference i guess. they're all good swimmers regardless.

    is it true about phelps being with the miss teenage california runner up or whatever?



  10. 110

    Mmm… Michael is so fine. =)



  11. 111

    SHOULDNT HAVE WON WILL BE GREAT FOR THE SPORT OF SWIMMING IF HE LOSES!!!….THE RELAY TOMOZ AUSTRALIA WILL TAKE GOLD SORRY PHELPS :p



  12. 112

    hotness!!!!



  13. 113

    I could be wrong here but i'm pretty sure Mark Spitz didnt have state of the art swim suits engineered by NASA to help him to his record. you might not think it makes so much difference but since the USA swim team started using the ultra low friction suits - they have broken 48 world records - go figure.



  14. 114

    He is sooo cute ehehehe what does he do again??

    xx shelly



  15. 115

    he is really hot
    and a great swimmer
    the pefect man

    hehe



  23. 123

    Oh this is BULLSHIT!

    I DO NOT GIVE A RATS ARSE ABOUT THE OLYMPICS.

    IT'S NOT CELEB GOSS.

    FUCK IT OFF PEREZ, I LOG ON HERE FOR GOSS - NOT SPORT NEWS. STOP POSTING THIS SHITE!



  24. 124

    The Serbians protested, but the Americans made sure that it looked like Phelps won. Phelps is a cash cow now. Too much money invested in him winning 8 medals. All other swimmers are told to step aside for the Americans, as usual.

    PHELPS DID NOT WIN THAT RACE. As usual, the Olympics is a propaganda tool for the U.S. Saturday is the relay medaly. Woe to the team member who doesn't get Phelps that medal. As usual, I'm disgusted with the Olympics.



  25. 125

    Doping much?

    How is that failure, you fucking idiot? Or are you trying to be funny? Did you piss yourself laughing at your incredible wit? No wonder John Mayer won't let you suck his dick anymore. Loser.



  27. 127

    Listen you fuckin pieces of shit. We all know that this fuckin dopey is a fuckin worthless steroid user. That's right. He's a fuckin steroid user.

    Look at this fuckin steroid poppin frat boy - a prime example of americans.

    And you worship a fuckin steroid using, low intelligent piece of cock meat?

    You people sicken me.

    Re: Mistress – Good to meet you Lady. I've seen a cute little avatar calling himself something like "lawfulsexslave." Pretty soon we'll have a whole community here. No one took me up on the offer of them being bound, blindfolded and shaved with a straight razor after the Sting shaving/concert blog but pretty soon I'm sure someone will. Seriously though, I was sick of the Olympics before they even started with the last six months or so of Olympic trial coverage on television here in the USA, but the women's gymnastic team and Michael Phelps have won even this hardened, sadistic heart over. Master Phelps indeed!!

    things that should never have been allowed into the Olympics: professional athletes, science, corporate sponsorship & drugs.



  33. 133

    Re: Porn_Mobile_ManYou're an idiot!! Why can't someone just be great at something without assholes like you blaming it on roids??!

    Re: Porn_Mobile_Man – I see by your avatar you present yourself as a Neanderthal. I see by your comments that even the Neanderthals would be hesitant to claim you as one of their own.

    Re: krazihottkelli/bitchygrl – Great idea. "I Believe You" when you say that we (many of us) are an obese society. The statues would do wonders for our youth…and adults to burn the fat rather than scarfing it down.

  43. 143

    Michael Phelps is a BEAST.



  44. 144

    Juzt think….
    if everyone would swim everyday
    u could eat what he eatz
    alot of food….



  45. 145

    why do you keep saying these are spoilers…it's on LIVE tv!



  46. 146

    Phelps is unbelievable. I don't think he abilities have anything to do with drugs. He's has natural talent, determination, and he practices hours every day. As far as the cheating crap, it's hard to cheat with an electronic touch pad and replays down to the 1/10th second.
    Phelps is up there with Mark Spitz and his 7 Olympic gold medals, but Spitz did something amazing that lasted for 36 years without the state-of-the-art swimsuit. They are both outstanding athletes.



  47. 147

    Mark Spitz did it without goggles and wearing a mustache!



  48. 148

    how come my avie is not showing, Perez?



  49. 149

    Re: karencarpenter
    You are very smart. Most kidz don't get to swim.
    Itz not right…coz the govt. makez sure that there iz crack/heroin
    for them, but can't give them a pool to be healthy in.
    I guezz they juzt want uz all 2/die at young agez, coz they
    spent our SOCIAL SECURITY FOR THE NEXT 50 YRZ.



  50. 150

    yay wow hes great!! i hope he wins



  51. 151

    He is HOTT!!!Yummy!lol



  52. 152

    Mark Spitz did it without wearing a rubber sock on his head, plus he had a much bigger package which caused a lot of drag. Think about it. I knew you would.



  53. 153

    OMG I DEF. THOUGHT HE LOST UNTIL THEY SHOWED IT UNDER WATER, AND THE TOUCH PAD DOSENT LIE!!! USA ALL THE WAY!!!!



  54. 154

    Re: SerbChick – no clearly the rules state who ever touches the pad 1st wins and if you have even bothered to watch the instant replays you would see michael touched 1st. After it was protested the couch was aloud to see slow motion replays and even he couldnt deny it, quit your crying



  55. 155

    Re: Xtina Applehate – omg do you know the rules???whoever touches the pad FIRST. how is that unfair??? If lochte is better than phelps than why isnt he a contender to break this record? you do know that you have to race in finals to be even able to swim for gold right? They dont just get to race for a medal. Im not saying lochte is not good, he is amazing, he has won a gold or two in china but that is just ridiculous, i mean the coach for the other guy even had to admit after seeing footage that michael did win.



  56. 156

    Re: Pervert – that Mark Spitz was one hot f*cker! Kind of like a gay porn daddy of the 70s! For that alone, Mr. Phelps will never beat his record in my book!



  57. 157

    Re: loriii – no he fuckin didnt!!!! DID YOU SEE ALL THE REPLAYS, WHOEVER TOUCHES 1ST AND PHELPS DID, GO TO YOUTUBE, THEY HAVE IT IN SLOW MOTION, IF CAVIC DIDNT GLIDE IN LIKE HE DID HE WOULD HAVE WON, HE FUCKED UP, PHELPS WAS LUCKY, HE EVEN SAID THAT SO SHUT UP



  58. 158

    Re: stefystef – all i hear is you crying, phelps in my cousin and im going to defend him to anyone who says he didnt win, he touched 1st go to youtube please and look, he touched 1st

  62. 162

    ahhhhhhhhh i almost died when it happenned.
    sooo close, he's honestly superman.



  63. 163

    Re: Mistress – that is so incredibly nice of you to say! especially coming from australia: land of the thorpedo!

    michael phelps is just amazing so much fun to watch and i am going to be so disappointed when these olympics are over because he won't be plastered all over my tv all the time. :(



  64. 164

    phelps didnt win if you watched the replay, milorad cavic touched the wall before phelps and the people didnt look closely and see that cavic touched the wall and cavic's gold medal has been stolen by phelps and that recored by phelps is cavic's record. i think the gold should go to the serbian that won the race not the american, and its bull that they didnt look at it closely because milorad cavic won the gold and phelps should take the silver for the americans. and i cantr believe you put he finally failed thats just stupid of you, please do something else if you are going to make fun of a serbian like this.

    congrats!



  66. 166

    and serbia beat usa in mostly every sport, this time the americans stole this one from serbia



  67. 167

    and cavic said he'll beat him next year



  68. 168

    That was SO close, I was actually doubting the results - I thought they might have made a mistake, he's REALLY lucky!



  69. 169

    it was close and the people in china did make a mistake



  70. 170

    That was the most amazing finish ever. Still can't believe he pulled it off at the last millisecond. I'll be sad when it's over. So fun to watch. They showed what he eats in one day — 12,000 calories… unbelievable.



  71. 171

    How did he finally fail? He is a great athlete and you are a loser perez.



  72. 172

    ha not a chance of a loss!! i love you michael whooohoo!



  73. 173

    Good luck Michael! Here's to that 8th win.



  74. 174

    haha wow. i really doubt he does steroids considering he volunteers to do extra drug tests to prove he's clean. there's such a thing as hard work and that is what makes him the best. plus, they broke down why his build makes him the ideal swimmer. and, yeah he has the specially made suit but even mark spitz said competition is much harder these days. so a lot of variables changed



  75. 175

    Re: Bellezza Italiana – I watched it live, I watched youtube, I watched the replay. Phelps can be your father, it doesn' change that he lost that race. But there's not money in letting another country, especially some Slavic country, beat the Golden Boy.
    Wonder how golden he will be when he loses tonight.



  76. 176

    Re: Carolina Cutie – ok moron funny races hasn't even started yet the race will be on live tonite at around 10 which will be 10 am sunday there idiot



  77. 177

    Re: Bellezza Italiana – that's the point- he touched first, and that is the only reason he "won". cavic was actually there first, he just didnt touch the wall first. phelps touched first not because he actually won the race, it was literally because his arm was longer than cavic's. it's just a really cheap win.

    not to mention, phelps' whole winning streak is cheap, not just his win over cavic. mark spitz did all of this WITHOUT a special nasa designed suit. anyone who argues the suits dont make a difference, look at the ridiculous amount of world records that are made ever since swimmers have been using those suits! it's not like all of the sudden people just got amazingly better at swimming!



  78. 178

    he is going for his 8th tonite!!!!!! he is so hotttttt!!!!!



  79. 179

    Re: Karl_J – concerndering they have to drug test after every race the win i don't think so dumb ass maybe a better question for u would be jealous much????



  80. 180

    Re: loriii – you also have to admit you r a dumb ass there are cameras and electric touch boards do u think the olympic commitee would cheat just so micheal phelps would win???? btw watch it ur self in slow motion stop being such a hater

    Spitz could accept no payment whatsoever, not even a swim suit. Phelps got a million dollars from Speedo for tying Spitz's record, (although there is no way he actually won the hundred fly — look at the photo finish, look at how Phelps is still pushing water forward, e.g., still swimming, when the Serbian swimmer has already stopped — clearly, technology can go wrong, or even be rigged)… But whatever, Spitz got nothing, nada, zip for his efforts. No money, no endorsements, zero $. The athletes now are like machines, with other machines to measure their every waking muscle recovery or nutritional need, and with science and technology to help create them, all at work in a very profitable business. Go look through You Tube for Spitz's old swims, and see for yourself what it looked like then. On all counts, no comparison. No doubt Phelps is the greatest swimming machine currently, but maybe if Spitz could have earned a living at swimming, let alone earned enough money to live on for for the rest of his life, he would have swam even harder, and for a lot more years. But he wasn't a professional, like they are now.



  83. 183

    HOT.
    HOT.
    HOT.

    he's the best, no question.

    all the haters are pathetic and sitting infront of their computer with their scrawny pathetic selves, while this guy is doing what he loves, and being the BEST at it.

    wow.
