How Micheal Phelps Eats While Training For the Olympics

Ever wonder what you have to eat to be an Olympic champion swimmer? If you are Michael Phelps it takes about 12,000 calories a day. That's right. He eats more in one meal than is recommended for an average person to eat in one day. Don't try this at home kids or ya might explode.

Olympics Flashback: Sydney Summer Games 2000 -- The Race of Eric Moussambani in 100m Freestyle

The 2008 summer Olympics in China will kick off on Friday and this week we will be bringing you the classic videos of games that deserve the title of YGSTV Olympic Classic.

This video is of a qualifying run for the 100m where two of the three swimmer jumped the gun and were disqualified...leaving only one man in the pool, Eric 'the eel' Moussambani from Equatorial Guinea. He swam the 100m in one minute 52.72 seconds which is better than we could do but was 65 seconds slower than the man who eventually won gold in this festival. Hey, cut the guy some slack. There was only one swimming pool in the entire country at the time and was 20m long.
