Michael Phelps is not done with high-achieving even if his career as an Olympic athlete is over.

Michael Phelps’ quest for swimming immortality became a reality on Sunday morning as the United States’ 4x100m medley relay team handed him his historic eighth gold medal of the Beijing Games.

THREE golds, five medals in all, and a world record. Grant Hackett of Australia was the star of the World Swimming Championships, emerging from the shadow of absent countryman Ian Thorpe.

Michael Phelps created a bit of history tonight without even getting into the pool as the United States set a world record to win the men's 4x100m relay in Athens this evening.

ANDREW BREE is looking to further improve his Irish 200m breaststroke record at the NCAA Championships which begin in Long Island, New York, today.
