Yep, seven more golds and we are counting. The crowd was in near hysteric when Mike plunged into the pool. It looked easy and for a split second we saw Mike's bulge in the water. Hot! I was salivating. Mikey got one of his toughest races out of the way. The Commander-In-Chief was there too, watching as Mikey chopped the water to victory. It was clear. Mikey dominated his first event of the Beijing Olympics on Sunday morning, crushing his own world record and all hopes of his challengers with a mark of 4 minutes, 3.84 seconds in the 400-meter individual medley. This was thought to be a potential stumbling block in Phelps’ quest to win eight gold medals after fellow American and good friend Ryan Lochte matched him stroke for stroke at the U.S. Olympic trials just over a month ago. Both went under the previous world record in the 400 IM then, with Phelps touching first in 4:05.25. But Phelps beat Lochte when it really mattered. Laszlo Cseh of Hungary took the silver in 4:06.16, while Lochte faded to third in 4:08.09—more than 4 seconds behind the amazing Phelps.
