There have been rumors over the last week, the the American Gold Medal Swimmer and now Playboy Model Amanda Beard is in a romantic relationship with the almost God-like American Swimmer, Michael Phelps. After Breaking Mark Spitz’s Olympic record of 7 gold medals in one Olympic games, by getting 8 Gold Medals, Phelps has been in the spotlight certainly.

So, Are Amanda Beard and Michael Phelps a couple? Why don;t we just ask Beard herself, who had some less then flattering remarks about Phelps Yesterday afternoon when questioned about the possibility of a romantic relationship between the two. When Amanda was questioned about the rumored romance in a phone interview with a Tucson radio station she responded, “Eww, that’s nasty!” Beard continued, “Come on, I have really good taste. He’s not really my type. We don’t even talk to each other.”
When Phelps was questions about being involved with Ms. Beard, he responded, “I’m not dating Amanda Beard. I’ll say that. I think she has a boyfriend.” In fact She does have a boyfriend, a photographer who she has been with for quite some time now.
Well I guess we can put the hopes of a genetically superior offspring from two of American;s all time great swimmers being created. One has to wonder what that genetic combination would have produced. Good news though for Michael Phelps….. Carrie Underwood is supposedly interested, and I’m sure just about every girl in America is to some degree.

In one of the closest and most dramatic races I have ever witnesses in swimming, Michael Phelps, just an hour ago won his 7th Gold medal of the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing China. Phelps, in the 100m Butterfly, won the race. Having said this, at first look, everyone in the arena thought Michael Phelps had come in second and won the Silver.
The race was so close, that from a naked eye probably all 100 million people watching the Olympics on NBC thought Phelps had come shy of his 7th Gold metal. Even his mom put up 2 fingers signifying 2nd place. The 100m (Meter) Butterfly is ones of Phelp’s less dominant races, however most expected him to win by more the the 0.01 second he did. Milorad Cavic of Serbia took the silver with a time of 50.59 seconds, just missing the Gold to Phelps who ran the 100m in 50.58 seconds. Phelps’s 7th gold medal made him match Mark Spitz’s record of seven gold medals at a single Olympics.
All I can say is that these Olympic games have been more memorable to me then any Olympics I ever recall. Granted I am only 32 years old, however, between this race, the 200meter really ion which Phelps and company overcame a huge gap in the final 20 meters to win gold, as well as numerous other exciting events, I have been more excited then I was even when I favorite NFL franchise, the Giants won the Superbowl last year!
