Wow. Beijing 2008 Olympics blew away television with 214 Million Viewers making it as the Most Watched Event this year.

The 2008 Beijing Olympics reached 214 million viewers, making it the most-watched event according to numbers released Tuesday by Nielsen Media Research.

Of course, who will be glued to such spectacles as Michael Phelps‘ acquisition of a record eight gold medals, the triumph of the itty-bitty Chinese women’s gymnastics team and the U.S. “Redeem Team’s” total domination over all comers in basketball helped the 2008 Beijing Olympic games surpass the previously most watched event of all time—the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta—by 5 million viewers and Athens  by 11 million.

Beijing Olympics 2008 is one of the hottest topics today-at home, school and more in the Internet. I was just really surprised of this awesome swimming athlete - Michael Phelps.

Michael Phelps notched another gold medal today - Friday, winning the 200-meter individual medley in a world-record time of 1:54.23. He’s incredibly awesome swimmer. I couldn’t imagine an athlete giving those graceful and powerful breast strokes in the water during the live feeds for Beijing Olympics 2008.

For those of you keeping track at home for Michael Phelps in Beijing Olympics 2008, that makes six gold medals – and six world records. In addition, Michael Phelps also scored six golds and two bronzes four years ago, in Athens. Great isn’t it?
