    A brilliant historian

    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.

    Re: A brilliant historian

    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??????

    I wish I had known that. I might have been able to arrange a trip to Munich to meet Hitler!
