American Olympic Gold Medalist Michael Phelps Is Hooked On Words With Friends

As US swimmer Michael Phelps prepares to add to his record 14 gold medals at the London 2012 Summer Games, the athlete isn’t likely to take much of a break from one of his favorite pastimes – gaming. Phelps, who can become the most-awarded Olympian in history by the end of this Olympics, loves to play all kinds of video games. But one of his favorites is Zynga’s Words With Friends. He’ll have as many as 30 games going on at once. Phelps talks all about his love of games in the videos below.

Stop the presses, i think im starting to care....nevermind.

he isn't that good anyway, some science show showed that you don't need different types of muscle groups to swim different strokes as long as you are the shape of a swimmer and have the endurance and strength and professional can do any stroke.

Decathletes are the true athletes only one medal and they do 10 different events which test endurance, strength and speed.

Back to the main topic, this dope smoking swimmer can be hooked on what ever he wants doesn't affect me or the gaming industry.

Yeah...he isn't that good...he only has more gold medals than any other Olympic Athlete...ever....

If it were as easy as you think it is, every slim person in the world would be a world class swimmer...no...no no no, it takes years of practice and hard work to do even half of the things these guys do...

And who cares if he smoked weed, what harm did it do? Would he have won maybe 10 extra gold medals if he didn't? Not likely....

And yes Decatheletes are impressive....but let's get real here, Michael Phelps swims like a damn fish, he currently holds the water speed record in at least 7 events, that's pretty god damn impressive...

I have to give props for the use of Electric Boogaloo reference. I don't think many young folk will even know what that is.

On topic... wasn't that where Don Mattrick went after leaving XB?

I'm not that young tbh. I only remember the reference from Family Guy.
