Swimmer Michael Phelps is golden...

00174c72.jpgGee, this is a real sports-oriented Sunday for Out In Hollywood. It's nothing planned, this blog just goes where the news is and right now, that news happens involves a good looking Olympian named Michael Phelps making history Sunday at the World Championships in Melbourne, Australia.
Phelps equalled the most hallowed mark in swimming by winning his seventh gold medal and also achieved his fifth world record. He smashed his own world record in the 400m individual medley by 2.04 seconds, becoming the most successful swimmer ever at the worlds.
The 21-year-old American joined countryman Mark Spitz as the only swimmers ever to win that many golds at a major international meet. Of course, Spitz' achievement came on the sport's grandest stage — the Olympics. Phelps hopes to equal the feat or go one better at next year's Beijing Games.
You can count on this blog to follow his progress...
