8.

This is indeed one of the most amazing Olympics games.

8th month of the year 08. 8 gold medals. And at that 8-letter sports segment [swimming], in that 8-letter major sporting competition [Olympics].

Michael Fred Phelps. US Swimmer. 8 times Gold medalist at this year's Olympics Games.

Aside from this, Congrats to the Singapore Women Table Tennis Team consisting of Feng Tianwei, Li Jia Wei, Wang Yue Gu, and the coach Liu Guodong. Finally, a medal for Independent Singapore at the Olympics, eh?

And yes, there's Tao Li. First Singaporean to reach a Swimming final in the Olympics.

Then again, I can't say the same for the guys at badminton. No, not just Susilo, but Taufik Hidayat as well. Kinda felt sorry for them. Google for their results...

Btw, I mention 8 olympians [coaches included] in this post. And count the number of times the number in my title appears in the post. is it ........
