SETS ANOTHER BAR AT THE LONDON
OLYMPICS 2012

S
president Barrack Obama decided a personal tweet to Michael Phelps wasn’t
enough, so he surprised the US
Olympic swimming star with a personal phone call at the London Games.
“The
craziest thing was just when I answered the phone and they were like, ‘Michael?’
and I said: ‘yes!’ “And they said: ‘please hold for the president of the United States ’,
and I was like, “ok!’”
Phelps, whose perfect 8-gold campaign in
Beijing had already given him the most gold medals of any Olympian, added a new
line to his legend as he surpassed Soviet gymnast Larissa Latynina’s record of
18 career medals with a silver and a gold on Tuesday night that took his total
to 19.
President Obama, despite being on a
campaign trail back in the states, has been keeping up with the Olympians in London through twitter
and personal calls to the team.
