He's a freak!! (kidding, I really like him)

He is 6'4" and his arm span is 6'7" normally your arm span matches your height. His feet are size 14, he IS a human fish.
He also has a 30 inch inseam....so do I and I am 5'8" thats un-real

I'm rooting for ya--Go Michael!!!

So he has a long upper body, a shorter lower body, a arm span that is not usual, and he eats 12,000 calories a day.

AND HE IS STILL ALIVE, after eating all that fat??

Good Grief.

He's an anomaly, that's for sure.

I bet if ANY OF US ever ate like that, we'd have to be wheeled into the emergency room.

lol

He burns 4000 calories in his morning swimming session alone :eek: No wonder he needs 12000, he swims all day

My favrorite fact was his hands are the size of dinner plates.

Okay, I just watched him winning (thanks so much for the link).

My comment.

I WANT THIS GUY'S DNA!!

I think they should clone his heart, his lungs, his metabolism HIS WHOLE BODY!!

Can you imagine this guy's energy level TO DO WHAT HE DOES??

He either taks A LOT OF B VITAMINS, or, well, I just don't know.

Good Lord!!

This kid is a sensation! :) I'm so proud of him, and all of our athletes!

All I want to know is, how BIG is his stomach anyway? Does he sit there for three hours for a meal? Or does it start to digest as soon as it hits his stomach? I mean, the amount of food for one meal could fill a bucket! :eek:

It's just amazing at how much he eats though to do his swimming. Wouldn't it be great to have that problem? Eat as much as you can to keep going? :wink: (Somebody, give me a cheeseburger, fries and a shake, I feel weak, trying to get up to 100 lb.) :D

He is amazing!! I can't believe anything can flow through those arteries of his freely! Oh well, I guess the guy's doing something right! He sure is doing the USA proud! :D

That he is! Did you see his Mom just slide right out of her chair yesterday?

I'm watching the swimming thing on tv right now. Some guy named Maloolie from Tunisia just took it away from Australia.

Oh, this makes me want to go and jump in the pool.

lol

P.S. And I loved Torres. She's 41 and she got the silver.
