As much as I love him, I have to confess that that is not a very flattering picture of him at all. :(
He has so many medals that it almost looks like somekind of vest, an odd Egyptian-dripping with gold- kind of vest. I agree with dragonfly about this pic, but man you gotta hand it to the guy. He sure does us all proud.
Way to go!! What an amazing acheivement. The good thing about these athletes that do so well is that it doesn't seem to go to their heads too much.
i must confess that I have not watched the olympics. not the first time! Im a bad smeritan. I just dont have time!!!
And you know what? He's now in my country on vacation! Everybody is prety happy to have him arround!
