Anybody who makes it to the Olympics is a WINNER. I just saw the gymnast from Ireland----had no chance to even get in the finals because of so many injuries but was just happy to be there. Michael Phelps quit training for about 2 years and did a lot party activities and maybe let all the fame go to his head. I am not surprised that he finished 4th in his first swim. He probably will medal before its over. Its an understatement that He did not handle all the publicity and fame very well following the 2008 Games. We all have "messed up" sometime. "The higher up you are---the farther you fall." GO USA!
