I\'m pretty proud of him too, and quite honestly, smiling ear to ear still.
I love seeing history made, I really love seeing people accomplish their lifetime goals, that they have worked so hard for.

Congrats to Michael and your teammates.

That was very exciting. His last two races were absolutely KILLER.

that guy is insane. i saw a breakdown of his diet the other day. he eats a kilo of enriched rice in two sittings (with other stuff too) and it all adds up to 12,000 cals a day!! bloody hell

He\'s pretty much a self conditioned freak of nature...

Amazing achievement great to watch an olympic story not go pear shaped and history made and he can still go on and do more..amazing

Yeah, no kidding. I\'m trying to lose weight and keep my consumption below 1800. But 12,000? Man, I\'d look like Homer Simpson.

Isn\'t he up to 12 golds now?

I\'m trying to stay around 1200-1400 cals a day! He must do some serious work to burn that much! But then he must do some serious work to have won what he has. Can\'t fault success.

:beer:I see a Wheaties box in his future

 

[StarFyre]

hehe

well, with his $5 million from sponsors so far, and the 1 million bonus for winning the 8 models..he never has to work again.

[Roger Bunting]

8 models? Are those the minis kind or the catwalk kind?

 

[Mr.S.Marbo]

He\'s a pretty amazing athlete, well done to the guy. If he eats 12,000 calories a day just think of all the training he must be doing every day to burn up all that.
