If you could rewrite anything about your book what is it and why?
I wouldn't rewrite anything about my book.
Hi, today I'm gonna tell another story about Michael Phelps. I find it very interesting, hopefully you do to. Okay so it happened last year at the Beijing Olympics. Michael was about to go for his seventh gold medal in a single Olympics. This would tie Mark Spitz's record. The race he was about to be competing in was the 200 meter fly. This was actually the only race out of is 8 that he was not predicted to win. So you could say the odds were not on his side. What happened next, once the race started lowered is chances yet again. Once his head went under the water his goggles started to fill up with water. This is not a good thing at all. It completely blurred Mikes vision to the point where he had to close his eyes. I guess something was broken on his goggles and he hadn't realised it before his race. This has happened to him many times before but never in the most important race of his life! His coach Bob knew something was wrong, he could tell by Michael's swimming form. At this point he had to completely guess on how many strokes to swim because he couldn't see where the wall was. He still got first place under the world record time. This shows how much of an amazing athlete Mike Phelps is. It was most defiantly a scare for him, but his will to win and to be a champion plus all the work got him through it.
