American swimmer, Michael Phelps is certainly a “gifted kid”. At only age 26, he has already won 16 Olympic medals – six gold and two bronze at Athens in 2004. In Beijing in 2008 he excelled again, winning eight medals at a single “Olympics”. This was achieved only by Soviet gymnast, Alexander Dityatin in Moscow at the 1980 “Summer Games”. At five individual gold medals, he tied fellow American, Eric Heiden’s record set in 1980 “Winter Olympics” and it equals Vitaly Scherbo at the 1992 Summer Games. Phelps holds the record for the most gold medals won in a single Olympic games. The eight medals he won at the “2008 Beijing Games” surpassed American swimmer, Mark Spitz’s remarkable performance at “Munich Olympics” in 1972 of seven gold medals.
“The Gifted Kid”, Michael Phelps earned Sports Illustrated magazine’s Sportsman of the Year award for his 2008 Beijing Olympic Games results. The song in the background is a tribute to “The Gifted Kids” in every endeavor. We hope it will be used to inspire kids to strive to excel and at the same time, validate overachievers.
The video of this kid was posted back in May 2010 by Peterganr. Perhaps, she’s Russian but it is not certain because there’s a language barrier. However, this reminded me of Cirque du Soleil, the Montreal group, currently on their electrifying Michael Jackson THE IMMORTAL World Tour show. This is talent and so we aptly call kids like this “The Gifted Kids“.
Watch the Lyrics Song for this new song of the same name that pays tribute to the gifted kids wherever they may be in the world. If you know a kid who is talented, would you nurture and encourage him to excel to his fullest potential? Hope you enjoy the videos!

Michael Jordan personalized plane
MJ as he is affectionately called, has real style and swagger and he has just shown the world some of this flare in his personalized airplane. It features a North Carolina-blue fin tail with the numbers “6″ and “23″ in its tail number. One number represents the amount of NBA championships he won, Jordan’s number and his own jumpman logo on it just in case there’s any confusion on the tarmac.
