"Michael Phelps may be the most astounding athlete of the Beijing Olympics.
Natalie du Toit is the most inspirational.
Phelps’ eight gold medals and seven world records left you in awe.
Du Toit’s effort in the open water swimming marathon left you in tears.
Phelps set his record with a body custom-made for swimming. Du Toit swam 6.2 miles with one leg.
Du Toit became the first female amputee to compete in the Olympics. She finished 16th in the brand new Olympic event, crossing the line in two hours, 49.9 seconds after swimming around the lake at the Shunyi Park venue used by rowers and kayakers."
