My family has a question they'd like me to ask any Americans I know:

Has there been much(/any) coverage of or news about, the World Swimming Championships (on at the moment in Melbourne) in the US? The US team has done well, especially Michael Phelps (he's just...wow - 6 gold medals and counting, it was a shame about the relay, plus multiple world records), and they're just interested in how the sport gets covered there vs how it's covered here.

Thanks for indulging their curiousity :)

Phelps is getting some coverage in the Chicago sports reports I listen to because of the number of races he has won. Not much else is being said about the other races. Baseball is starting so that is getting alot of coverage around here.
