Over here they are saying that Phelps is a relative unknown in his homeland. Is this true? We are a nation that love our sports man and women, and swimmers are real superstars here. If he was an Aussie, he would be absolutely massive here! Like Ian Thorpe was.

He has to jump on everything he can right now. They're estimating that his endorsements could run as hight as $50 - 70 million this year. He's already making $3 - 5 million on endorsements before the Olympics.
Yes, he went 8 for 8 this year breaking 7 world records.
He was known before, but NO WHERE near how well he's known now. I definitely remmeber him in the last Olympics.

But that's my point ... she's done nothing thus far. Every other race for her is a DNF of some fashion and yet she was rolling in the endorsement checks.
It reminded me of that Russian female tennis player who rarely won a match, but yet she was one of the highest paid atheletic endorsers in the world and had tons of notoriety.

Yep, 9.69. Sub 9.70 is unheard of before. and they say Bolt could break his own record in not so distant future. Even if he doesn't, this record will last for a really long time.
