    Right, but that's just the fact that he's better than everyone else coming out and making a statement, not him personally....or am I just playing the role of the ignorant (and homer) American?

    No, I think the media has blown it all out of proportion, trying to make him look arrogant.

    Ah yeah indeed, I don't mean to suggest that he's arrogant at all, I'm just meaning that if you're as prolific as he is, you wouldn't need to even if you felt inclined to make such a statement (you can't play the ignorant American tag with me lol ). On that note, I concur with Nate's sentiments

    It's my understanding (and I could be wrong here) that most of the "8 gold medals" hype is coming from the media....i don't think he'd be so bold as to come out and say "I'm gonna win 8 gold medals."


    Could be, I think you're right about the media. Always a big influence of course.

  11. We don't have much luck here. Van den Hoogenband became 5th, deserved it though. He did his best. And with Judo we ususally make it to the last tree but never a gold medal.

    I think old Hoogie needs to retire. He's been a good swimmer over the years but his best is behind him.
