I'm sure you all have heard of him, but I thought he needed his own thread. I first learned of wonderhunk Mike a couple months ago, since then he's become a huge media magnet and favorite to win the Olympic swimming medals.
Yeah -- I didn't think anyone could ever possibly top what Mark Spitz did, but I think Phelps is going to try...

I'm pretty sure my little brother has met him and even raced against him a couple of times.
Nate (my brother) was friends and competitors with Aaron Piersol who is mentioned in the article as well (aaron is pretty hunky himself http://www.aaronpeirsolonline.com/pictures/misc.htm) The article says Aaron Piersol of Texas, I suspect that he moved there to get on the UT swim team, because he grew up in Southern California, and my brother has raced against Aaron for years.

I was trying to find an online picture of my brother but the only one I can is a head shot only and all you see is bad hair.
Growing up as a swimmer I'm extremely partial to the drool factor of the male swimmer though I've never dated one, and beat up many while playing water polo.

Reading interviews with Phelps makes me think of BobbyFisher, and of Tyson living on skid row.
