On the record
"Nothing is impossible. With so many people saying it couldn't be done, all it takes is an imagination, and that's something I learned and something that helped me. I literally wanted to do something that no one's ever done before in this sport. Without the help of my teammates it wouldn't have been possible."
Michael Phelps
The U.S. swimmer was speaking after winning his eighth gold medal at the Beijing Olympics.
