I watched the race and thought it was pretty kewl. They did say that he's got like 16 now or something, and passed up some Soviet for most medals by a male athlete. A female Soviet had 18 so she's still ahead of him, though. But pretty amazing he won 8 of 8 gold medals with 7 world records.

i watched an interview with him last night. he has a really good head on his shoulders.
