This feller jes' yesterday won the gold medal at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing in the 100-meter backstroke competition. He also set a new world record, beating the world record he had already set when he won three gold medals in 2004 at the Summer Olympics in Athens. Wow!
Now ... did you know this feller is a Texas Longhorn? He lives in Austin and is a Texas-Ex, and he used to compete on the UT swimming team.
One of the best things about him is that he is a spokesman for Oceana, the organization that is working to support world's oceans. They tell me you can find out more about Oceana at it's website http://www.oceana.org/north-america/home/. Also, he has a website to take a look at: http://racefortheoceans.org/
He came originally from California, but I guess we can forgive him for that.
