星期二 [ 2010-1-19 17:45:49 | watches1013 ]   Star athlete becomes disappointment Michael Phelps has been in the news again recently, but this time he wasn't accomplishing anything great or inspirational. Winner of eight gold medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games (by the way, that's the most golds medals ever won by any athlete during a single Olympics), Phelps was my hero, hands down. I cut out pictures, saved newspaper articles and bought a copy of any magazine that featured an article about this young man who overcame obstacles with hard work and determination. During the Olympics, my family stayed up late on Breitling Fake many school nights just to watch him swim. He was a celebrity of whom Americans could be proud. Now a photograph has surfaced of Michael Phelps smoking a marijuana pipe at a party. Having set unthought-of records in Beijing, he returned to the United States only to seriously taint his reputation. Other brands jewellery Phelps is a young man who has so much going for him. He stands alone in the record books; he is sponsored by companies such as Speedo and Omega; he recently released a new book; and he was model athlete. His life is that of an American legend, despite the fact that he is only 23 years old. A hero is a person admired for qualities and achievements - a positive role model for others. Michael Phelps has gone from demigod to disappointment. Emma Rose Collins Lincolnton Other articles: http://www.1jiankong.com/Blog/View/?351 http://www.sz-dxs.cn/Blog/View/?202 浏览(167) | 回复(0) |
