They said he eats 7000 calories a day, more whoen training hard and he still can't gain weight. he trains so hard that he burns all that food.
He isn't part fish, he's an incredibly talented incredibly hard working individual who has earned every single medal he's gotten. Good for him. I hope he gets all of them.
BTW, anyone remember mark Spitz? He won a gold medal in every (individual) event he entered in the 1972 Olympics, and to set a new world record in every one of the individual events he competed in. The only reason Phelps has a chance to get more gold medals that Spitz at a single Olympics is that whoen Spitz was competing they didn't have the 50 meter event. He only entered 7 events and won 7 gold medals.
Phelps has a shot at 8 medals and I hope he repeats the success that Spitz had.

This morning they played an interview with Spitz and asked him whoy he wasn't at the games watching. he said "I'd love to be there but no one invited me". Kind of an over-sight, don't ya think?
If I were the US Olympic committee I'd be at his doorstep with a plane ticket. This is history and Spitz should be there no matter how it turns out.
