"See, Mario does the breaststroke," he recently told Yomiuri Sports. "And thus, it's perfect mental training for envisioning the actual Olympic hall."

Okay, two things:
1) How much did Nintendo pay him?
2) Justin, this has just become my favorite photoshop on Joystiq, second only to the exclusive pokemanz.

Nintendo didn't have to pay him anything. Kicking Sonic's ass is all the motivation you need, till we get a good Sonic game expect more gold medals.

Beating Sonic in a swimming event isn't exactly something to write home about.

I know this has been said, like, a billion times already, but that picture is beyond hilarious. Now I wish someone would get him to wear a getup like that when he goes onto another event.

i can see how since he was already training for the event it could help mentally get right, i don't think mario could make him switch styles. alternatively mmm . . . breaststroke

So remember kids, if you want to be an Olympic gold medalist, just follow what a fat, Italian plumber does.

Translated from the article (thanks Babel Fish!):
“[mario] does breaststroke, it is it does. Therefore already, atmosphere of the meeting place image training is perfect. You wanted to be defeated after all, the [tsu] shank which is not” you laughed
Wait, what?

Phelps should take a cue from David Beckham and speak as little as possible. Both of them have the athletic good looks, and the brain power of a hamster.

That Phelps is a Freaking beast, he had make the entire Olympics his own.
