Michael Phelps Detailed Biography
Michael Fred Phelps (born June 30, 1985 in Baltimore, Maryland) is an American swimmer who holds world records in several events. Phelps won eight medals (six gold, two bronze) at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, which tied the record for most medals at one Olympics, a record set by Alexander Dityatin in 1980. Phelps' international titles, along with his various world records, have resulted in him being named World Swimmer of the Year in 2003, 2004, 2006, 2007 and American Swimmer of the Year in 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006 and 2007.
Phelps has qualified to compete in eight swimming events at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, and is attempting to beat Mark Spitz's record of seven gold medals at one Olympics, and the lifetime record of nine Olympic golds. As of August 12, 2008, Phelps has won three gold medals in Beijing, all in world record time, and he became one of only five athletes to win nine Olympic gold medals.
Michael Phelps was born on June 30, 1985 to Fred (a state trooper) and Debbie (middle-school teacher) Phelps. The family lived in Maryland, just outside of Baltimore. Fred was a good athlete, and passed his ability on to his kids. Michael along with his 2 sisters got into swimming at an early age. One of the turning points for Michael came when he saw swimmers Tom Malchow and Tom Dolan compete at the 1996 Summer Games in Atlanta. The 11-year-old began to dream of becoming a champion himself. He had started his swimming career at Towson�s Loyola High School pool. He met Bob Bowman when he moved on to the North Baltimore Aquatic Club at the Meadowbrook Aquatic and Fitness Center for better facilities and more professional coaching. The coach recognized Michael�s potential immediately.
In 1999, Michael earned a spot on the U.S. National B Team. At the Junior Nationals, he broke a record in the 200-meter butterfly for the 20-year-old age group. Michael�s ascent through the U.S. swimming ranks accelerated in 2000. At the Spring Nationals, he finished third in the 200-meter butterfly. At 15, Michael became the youngest swimmer to compete for the U.S. in the Olympics in 68 years. He acquitted himself well, touching the wall in fifth place in the 200-meter butterfly. Michael ended the year ranked 7th in the world in the 200-meter butterfly and 44th in the 400-meter individual medley. Michael entered 2001 poised to take another huge step in his career, and staged his coming out party at the Phillips 66 National Championships that August. First he set a world record in 200-meter butterfly at 1:54.92. Then he captured the gold in the 100-meter butterfly. After winning the 200-meter butterfly at the Pan Pacific Championships, Michael ended his year in style by bettering his own mark in the event at the World Championships in Fukuoka, Japan. The owner of his first international medal, he pushed his world record to 1:54.58.
At the 2002 U.S. Nationals in Ft. Lauderdale, he notched four wins�in the 100-meter and 200-meter butterfly and the 200-meter and 400-meter individual medley. His time of 4:11.09 in the 400 established a new world mark. Michael was equally dominant at the Pan Pacific Championships. After golds in the 200-meter and 400-meter individual medley and a silver in the 200-meter butterfly, he helped America�s four-man team to victory in the 400-meter medley in a world-record time of 3:33.48. After graduating from high school in 2003, Michael shifted his focus to the U.S. Spring National Championships. His victories came in the 200-meter freestyle, 200-meter backstroke and 100-meter butterfly. In U.S. Summer Nationals, he became the first man to claim five national titles in a single meet. His victories�in the 100-meter, 200-meter and 400-meter freestyle, 200-meter backstroke and 200-meter individual medley�proved he was more than just a master of the butterfly. Michael Phelps shattered his own world record in Athens by wining the Olympic gold at Men's 400-meter Individual Medley. Michael wants to transform his sport the way other great athletes like Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods have.

Michael Phelps becomes Olympics' new gold standard
Michael Phelps is 5-for-5 in his quest for 8 gold medals this year. His 11 career gold medals is already an Olympic record.BEIJING -- Fifty-eight minutes. What can you do with that? Almost watch a TV drama? Nearly finish a business lunch? Fifty-eight minutes. You get change back from your hour. In normal human life, it's not much of an opportunity. But there is little normal or even human about what Michael Phelps is doing at the Summer Olympics.
He had three golds and three world records when the sun rose today in China, and the breakfast hour would bring him two finals -- the 200-meter butterfly and the 800-meter freestyle relay -- in a single session. Fifty-eight minutes between them. Win the first, become the most-decorated gold medalist in the history of the Olympic Games. Win the second, be just three victories from pushing Mark Spitz off his pedestal.
Phelps called it "a pretty big morning."
Yeah. If you're into that kind of stuff.
And splash! Phelps was in the pool, lunging, undulating, kicking, lunging again. It's a violent, explosive stroke, the butterfly, swimmers churning like motors in the midst of their own bubbling waves, nearly riding above the water. The 200 butterfly is to Phelps what a dunk is to LeBron James. He's the best. But even a dunk can be pressure-packed when the ghosts of Olympic history are watching from the stands. Not to mention LeBron James himself, who was there, cheering, along with Kobe Bryant.
Phelps touched the wall second at the quarter point, first at the halfway point and first at the three-quarters point.
And then he headed for home.
He's sprung a leak ...
Now, it's hard enough to arrive at a sporting event at 10 in the morning -- and that's for a fan. There's getting up. There's traffic. There's finding where you go. For Phelps there was all that -- plus dressing, warming up, all the official this and that which goes with the business of participating in an Olympic final. And, oh, yeah, the swimming. I don't know about you, but I'm lucky to drag myself onto a treadmill at 10 in the morning, and I need two cups of coffee.
But here was Phelps, shoulders surging, arms reaching, ahead of the pack with the crowd rising to its feet. The butterfly puts you most in the pose of Superman flying -- both arms straight ahead, your chin jutting forward -- and it was fitting that with his final stroke, Phelps was stretched just that way when his fingers made contact with the wall.
Victory! And yes, a world record, six hundredths of a second off his old mark. Phelps popped out of the water, pulled his goggles and cap and tossed them to the deck. He had just become the winningest gold-medal athlete in the history of the Olympics. He owned 10 golds. Carl Lewis was behind him and Spitz was behind him. Finnish runner Paavo Nurmi and Soviet gymnast Larisa Latynina were behind him.
"My goggles kept filling up with water during the race," he told the media. "I wanted a world record, I wanted 1:51 or better, but in the circumstances not too bad I guess."
The circumstances?
Oh, yes. He had another race in front of him.
And a medal ceremony to attend to.
Flowers and pictures ...
How crazy is this? Phelps is like one of those plate jugglers, racing to catch this one and that one, a heat here, a final there. Catch that plate. Don't drop that one. Seventeen races all told in nine days? No counting how many trips to warm up, to cool down, to warm up again.
At six minutes after 11 o'clock -- still brunch time in Beijing -- and just 13 minutes from the scheduled start time of his relay race, Phelps came out to the medal stand and rose when his name was called. His raised his arms. He had his sweat suit on, his sweat pants, his sneakers, none of which he would have when he jumped back in the pool in a few minutes, but all of which are required for decorum on the victory stand.
He stood as "The Star-Spangled Banner" was played, his mouth slightly open in that funny, collegiate-looking, "no big deal" posture.
How does he stay that calm? Wouldn't you want to race into the locker room? Wouldn't you be speeding off at the last mention of "home of the brave ..."? This after all is your history, your legacy, your chance. You've waited a lifetime.
So what's a few more minutes, I guess? Phelps, rather than running off, circled around the deck, threw flowers to his mother, posed for photos with the other swimmers. Eleven minutes to his race. Ten minutes. Plates falling here. Plates falling there.
"Michael Phelps has become the greatest gold-medal winner in the Olympics history!" the arena announcer bellowed. "And the greatest Olympian of all time!"
Not to mention the fastest dresser.
And the next event ...
"I was actually thinking about it on the medal ceremony," Phelps would tell NBC when the morning was done. "I was trying to get ready for (the) relay, keep my mood focused. ... I kept fighting myself every time I started thinking about (the gold-medal record), tearing up a little bit."
Tears? Who had time for tears?
Moments later, Phelps was back out with his U.S. teammates for the 800 freestyle, the white ear buds under his cap, blasting music. You would swear there was a phone booth back there.
Sweats off. Onto the block. And splash! He was back in the water, the lead-off man. If there was fatigue, it didn't show. Phelps was ahead of the pack before the halfway mark of the first lap. He touched the wall on a world-record pace -- already? -- and touched three more times before teammate Ryan Lochte leapt into the water.
Now all Phelps could do was watch. He urged on Lochte -- after all, these guys held Phelps' legacy in their hands -- but there was little worry. Whatever Phelps has got seemed to be contagious. Lochte, and Ricky Berens after him and anchorman Peter Vanderkaay of Rochester after him caught the bug. By the end it seemed as if they were in a different race than the rest of the swimmers. They stroked. They put distance between the field. They stroked and put more distance.
When Vanderkaay touched the wall, the U.S. swimmers hadn't just broken the world record, they'd smashed it. Nearly five seconds shaved off! A timing time of 6:58.56, breaking seven minutes for the first time in history!
Phelps, with his bodysuit halfway pulled down his body, threw his hands into the air, hugged his teammates, and it was only their embrace that kept him from lifting one level higher than the rest of humanity.
"I'm almost at a loss of words ..." Phelps told NBC. "The people who came before us and competed in the Olympic Games are some of the greatest athletes who ever lived. And to win the most gold medals .... it's unbelievable. I just have no idea what to say."
Eleven golds. Six in Athens, five in Beijing. Spitz's record of seven in one Games clearly in his sights.
What was it Peirsol said? "It might be once a century, you see something like this"?
Maybe longer. Fifty-eight minutes. Two gold medals. Two world records. Three outfit changes. One cool down. One medal ceremony. One flower toss to your mother. One Kobe and LeBron nod of approval.
Oh, yeah, and a place in the pantheon of Olympic history.
Fifty-eight minutes.

Beijing 2008: A Russian perspective - Beijing 2008 Olympics
Russian hockey star Alexander Ovechkin with the Vancouver-2010 mascotDmitry Chernyshenko, who heads the organising committee for the Winter Olympics in Russia's Sochi in 2014, is writing for the BBC from Beijing.
It's been a busy few days for Sochi 2014. Since I last updated you all, a lot has happened.
We've been watching closely the news from South Ossetia and it's not been easy. However, we understand that our job as an organizing committee is to focus on preparations for the 2014 Winter Games.
Let me tell you what we've been doing in Beijing.
I've given our first presentation as an organising committee to the IOC session, enjoyed a spectacular opening ceremony, been taken on a tour of the athletes' village and last night co-hosted a first at the Games: an important joint event with our fellow organisers from Vancouver 2010, who we're looking to learn from as our preparations progress.
The last time I stood in front of the full IOC session was in Guatemala just over a year ago, where we were bidding to win Russia's first ever Winter Games.
This time I updated the IOC on our progress as an organising committee and I'm pleased to say we have been making good ground. There is a lot more to do and we're working hard to justify the IOC's trust in Sochi.
Then on Friday, we agreed to the formation of the world's first Olympic university, which will be built in the Sochi Olympic Park as another example of the tangible legacy our Winter Games will leave behind.
In a few years' time, the Russian International Olympic University will welcome people from anywhere in the world to study for careers in the Olympic Movement.
That evening, the Beijing sky turned red for the incredible opening ceremony. No doubt you were watching, along with more than four billion other people.
What was also incredible was the heat in the stands! When I asked a group of Olympians in the athletes' village on Saturday what it was like to be in the centre of the stadium for so long, they actually said it was OK and that they were just caught up by the experience of it all.
I've already heard London 2012 say it's set them a real hard task to follow in four years' time. I'm sure they will do a great job.
What the Chinese did was unique to them and I think that has to be the key. But whatever we do in Sochi, I'm pretty sure I'll leave the flying to somebody else!
The Olympic stadium being built in Sochi will actually be right on the coastline, where we have miles of beaches and palm trees.
The amazing thing about my home city is that you can be skiing in pristine snow and then within 40 minutes, you can be at our beautiful mild seaside. This will be unique for an Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.
The morning after the opening ceremony, we had a tour of the Olympic Village. It was good to see the facilities first hand and as Jacques Rogge, the IOC President, said a few days ago, they look first-class. We spoke to a lot of Olympians, and they all said the accommodation for athletes is excellent. Again, we're taking notes for Sochi.
Now, I write this the morning after a very successful evening with our friends from the organizing committee for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Games. The event saw Canadians and Russians come together in friendship to share knowledge and cement our good relations.
We had Winter Olympians, many members of the IOC, special guests and even a Russian-Canadian jazz session to bring a bit of 'winter cool' to the Beijing summer.
It's important to work with Vancouver 2010 as the Winter Games before ours. They have already been through the things we have coming up and I hope we can help them with some of our ideas too. Special thanks to my good friend and counterpart at Vancouver 2010, John Furlong, for helping to make the event such a success.
The most important thing about the Games - the competition - has at last begun and it's great to see some Russian athletes winning medals. Congratulations to all the medallists at Beijing 2008 so far. I wish them, and all of you, a great Games until my next update.

Olympic Live Thread Goodness: More Michael Phelps, Which Of Course Means More Gold
Greetings everyone. I'm going to spare you the suspense right now. Michael Phelps will win gold tonight. And no, the race hasn't happened yet. But Phelps is the world record holder in the 200 meter freestyle and no one, NO ONE, will beat him. He's more dominant than Tiger Woods right now. Phelps could bring his C game tonight and still win this thing, that's how good he is.Also on tonight, Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh take on commie Cuba in beach volleyball, and we've got some men's gymnastics. Regrettably, don't expect much out of the US men's gymnastics team, as both Paul and Morgan Hamm have been relegated to being spectators due to injury. Remember that Paul won the all-around gold in 2004, so his absence is huge.
Chat it up right here. USA! USA! USA!

Taylor Momsen’s a Brooklyn Babe
She may be young (16 years old as of last month), but Taylor Momsen knows how to get the boys’ attention. And yesterday she was looking hot on the Brooklyn set of Gossip Girl.The Jenny Humphrey actress had it going on with a plaid schoolgirl outfit as she filmed scenes with Penn Badgley, stopping to pose for the paparazzi at one point.
Afterwards, Miss Momsen spent some time with her mother Collette, stopping into a nearby deli to pick up some Goldfish cracker snacks to munch on as they strolled down the street.
Sporting a blue tank top along with some flair-legged jeans and white sunglasses, Taylor, again, gave the shutterbugs a few smiles before heading on her way.

Katie Holmes: From LA to NYC
Last night she was glamming it up on the red carpet with her husband Tom Cruise at the Los Angeles premiere of “Tropic Thunder.” And this morning, Katie Holmes was back in action in the Big Apple.The “Dawson’s Creek” darling returned to the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre in Times Square for her continuing “All My Sons” rehearsal schedule.
Looking a bit on the tired side, Katie sported a white button-up shirt with a pair of jeans and leather sandals as she entered the building carrying a briefcase.
And as the 1-month countdown closes in (the show starts preview performances September 18th) we’re sure we’ll see more and more of this “Mad Money” babe putting the finishing touches on her Broadway debut.
