Michael Phelps 200m free style

Today I wanted to watch Olympics swim competition. Michael Phelps is a swimmer for team U.S.A. He was going to get 8 gold medals. This 200m freestyle is going to be his third gold medal. I was going to cheer for him because he is the fastest swimmer.

The game was going to be held in the water cube. The water cube looked like a cube with bubbles. The bubbles were usually blue, but sometimes they were rainbow.

When Michael was getting ready, the man that was talking about Olympics was introducing all of the swimmers to us. When he introduced Michael he said all he did was eat, swim, and sleep. And he snored very loudly and it was funny to me.

Now everybody was ready. I was eager to see Michael swim. I had no doubt Michael was going to get to be first place. I really wanted to watch. Everybody was getting ready to jump. Finally they jumped. Michael jumped the farthest. There was something weird about his rhythm. His arm were 1-2-rest, 1-2-rest and I thought it made him faster. His feet were where the other swimmers head were, but they couldn’t catch up with Michael. It was the last round and he kicked the wall very hard when he turned. When he was almost there, he kept his head down until he reached the wall. He won!

Michael got out of the water and searched for his mom in the crowd. When he saw her, he smiled and his teeth were shining white. They put the gold medals on Michael. They were singing star spangled banners. The competition was fantastic.
