I'm gonna beat the world record for best book

By Michael Phelps

I'm writing a book. About my Olympics. Sweet, right? Actually I wanted to write a steamy Civil War-era romance novel, chronicling the tale of a young woman torn between two lovers on opposite sides of the conflict, but my agent says stick to what I know ...

Some people are surprised that I could have enough to say about the Olympics for an entire book considering I run out of things to say to Bob after one interview question.

But doubt fuels me. Remember when those French assholes said they were going to smash us? Wait, forget that story because it probably will be half the book.

All you need to know is I'm gonna dominate the shit out of this book. What's the record for best book? I'll beat it by 2 whole seconds I swear to God.

Here's a brief chapter synopsis of the book:

Chapter 1: Struggle, what drives a champion? This will tell my courageous story about being a suburban kid in Baltimore. When all the other kids played soccer and basketball, I blazed a different path. One time in 3rd grade, I got an ear infection and some kids made fun of me.

Chapter 2: Getting in the pool. How do I feel about jumping in a cold pool? In the locker room, do I wrap a towel around me when I put on my suit? All these details will finally be answered!

I'm completely out of sports cliches

By Michael Phelps

Bio & Blog

Last night’s win truly proved you win as a team and lose a team. Both teams were playing on a high level, but something had to give.

It was war out there. We knew this would be no cakewalk. I'm proud of this team. We showed a lot of heart. We definitely brought our A game.

I think we proved once and for all, you don’t win a race on paper. On any given day any team is capable of beating another team. Last night the breaks went our way.

But give the French team a lot of credit. We beat a very good squad today.

In the end, we did our talking in the pool. We gave 110% effort, left everything in the water and took care of business.
