21 and counting. I’ll take all comers!
Michael Phelps won his 21st gold medal, and 23 medals overall, had some wonderful TV time last night. Touching images of Michael and his mom,

Some of the shots of Michael, ahead of the races, as he mentally prepped are the best. We all know that Olympian athletes are very intense.
