Yes, it really happened folks. TVes (Venezuelan public television) sportscaster Willie Oviedo, in a display of his amazing grasp of sports and world history, explains that the only person to win eight gold medals is Michael Phelps... at the 1972 Olympic Games of Munich, where Hitler refused to give him the medals.

The last part is a little screwy about the giving medals back. The Hitler part,I think he stated in, Hitlers Germany.

Lemme see if I have this right...

In 1972, Michael Phelps won 8 Golds in Munich, but Hitler refused to award them personally?

Is that what he said??????
