Either way, I hope 2016 is in the Western hemisphere. I'm so sleep deprived, but it will all be over within a week. |

Every country has their own system for how much they give and for what. For example, Canada gives $20 000 per gold and the US gives $25 000 per gold. The amount the US gives is a pittance compared to the private sponsorship and endorsements the athletes get (amateur my ass).$25,000? Thanks. That's what I wanted to know coz I heard somewhere that if Phelps were Korean (or was it Japanese? Can't remember now), he would get like millions of dollars from the government for all the gold medals he won. |

Phelps will get millions of dollars worth of sponsorships for his golds. Speedo gave him a million dollar bonus for his medals

Talking about UGLINESS, wow, nobody is uglier than this shit! Totally PORN-COVER wannabe!

and with track and field sucking so far the ratings are going to take a hit with Phelps on dry land and the gymnastics over
and I agree the coverage of gymnastics are beyond pathetic. |

It looks like a fricking wind chime.
He does have some friendly angles tho. He needs his cap on to cover up the ears or his hair to be grown out. Then he looks normal ish. |

In that picture, those medals look like a scary halter. Almost like something Cher would have worn in the 70s.

As much as I like michael and am proud of how he has represented us, I really dont understand this whole michale getting a million dollar bonus from speedo for
winning golds or getting millions in endorsements etc. Cant they think of something better to use that million for? Americans do not have their priorites
straight.

Agreed. He worked his ass off, and I'd much rather see his dorky mug on my screen than some fucking skank that wears short skirts with no panties.
Actually, I'd rather see Lochte, because he's hot, but he didn't get 8 golds. |

If anyone's watching Diving on NBC can clearly tell that commentator bitch is so anti-Chinese and she's rooting for the Canadian to spoil the Chinese
divers. No matter how great the Chinese divers perform on each dive, she always had some negatives on them...what an Americunt! Envy much, bitch!

Not to mention she is such a sweet person and incredibly supportive of every diver. I am a diver and have been around diving my whole life; I am astounded by how well she is able to call the dives. She can pick up the slightest mistakes, which btw she is paid to do. Not to mention the Chinese Men are no where near as good as the Chinese woman divers. |

other divers! Even when she said "great dive...BUT" There's always the BUT with every comment.

I'm surprised he posed for that picture. Mark Spitz said he regretted ever taking that picture.
