Michael Phelps es el nadador de los Estados Unidos que, en los Juegos Olímpicos de este ańo, obtuvo resultados extremos. Ganó en todos los eventos en que participó, llevándose ocho oros olímpicos. Desde estas victorias enormes, Phelps ha aparecido en muchos artículos que hablan de sus habilidades sobrehumanas. Aquí va un artículo sarcástico sobre Phelps:
- Michael Phelps has won the Olympics. Not just swimming events — Michael Phelps has won the entire Olympic games (even badminton).
- OK, maybe he didn’t win badminton, but his accomplishments are still outstanding. However, Phelps has yet to best man’s real competition in the water. That’s right — it’s time to take on sea life.
- FACT: Michael Phelps swims at approximately 6 mph.
- FACT: Dolphins can swim up to 33 mph.
- CONCLUSION: There are still hurdles to be cleared, Mr. Phelps (though we’re pretty sure he won the gold in the 100m hurdles as well).
- Enjoy your victories while you can, because if dolphins have their way, they’ll be waiting to see you in 2012 with Team Atlantis tattoos on their backs.
