The Daily Tube review
By now, everyone on the planet knows that Michael Phelps set an Olympic record with his eighth medal of the Beijing Games with his butterfly leg of the 400-meter Medley Relay. Well, now we actually have video of the race itself, albeit grainy and copied from a computer stream. Clearly, this is a transcendent athletic achievement that we may never see again, but the most touching part of Phelps phenomenal achievement was seeing him finally start to break down a bit while receiving his final medal. That was special.
