The moment was ruined by Phelps' scandalously low swim suit, which for some reason he half removed before the race had ended. That was one of the most shameful things I've seen from these Olympics, and it was sad that it came from one of our greatest competitors.
Well then, I guess you really hate the old fashioned Speedos! I saw nothing wrong with Phelps' suit. Don't be so negative!
GO USA!!
As the dad of three very accomplished swimmers, I can tell you that (a) those new Speedo body suits are REALLY uncomfortable out of the water, and you can’t wait to get them loosened; (b) you cannot loosen them yourself (or zip them up) a cohort unzips you; (c) Phelps has a very tall hip structure (and virtually no butt) and he still had a bit more to go before he be imitating a plumber; (d) Phelps is anything but an exhibitionist.
With all due respect, I think you find scandal where none really exists.
Just out of curiosity, do you find the gymnastics outfits (particularly form fitting for the women) equally scandalous?
Good thing they don’t hold true to the old Olympic tradition of nude competition ;-)
I just saw the replay... What was so shameful about it? He didn’t pull the top up during the race.
This statement reminds me of Obama & Co who see racism in every single thing.
that is what you saw? his torso? and it makes you sad? after the amazing performance and the emotional reactions, that is what you take from it? that is S-A-D!
I hope you’re kidding!
My daughter was a bit “taken aback” by his gorgeous body. My wife would have truly enjoyed it.
I don’t think too many people are upset with seeing bare-chested men.
You must not watch much swimming.
And you definiately have never hired a plumber. Now that’s scandalous.
